HEADWATERS RESTORATION: THE HEADWATERS RESTORATION PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (HRRP) BEGAN IN 1999 AS A REHABILITATION AND RESTORATION PROJECT WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING HABITAT FOR NATIVE FISH SPECIES. YAAK VALLEY FOREST COUNCIL HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES THAT MANAGE AREAS WITHIN THE HEADWATERS OF THE YAAK RIVER WHIL IMPLEMENTING RESTORATION PROJECTS. WORK INCLUDES SEDIMENT SOURCE SURVEYS, WEED ABATEMENT, ROAD DECOMMISSIONING, STREAM CROSSING IMPROVEMENT, WATERSHED RESTORATION, STREAMBANK IMPROVEMENT, STREAM TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND WATERSHED RESTORATION PLANNING.HRRP WORKS ON MANY FRONTS: IN THE FIELD, IN AGENCY OFFICES, AND ACROSS THE BORDER. THE UPCOMING YEARS WILL BE BUSY FOR THE PARTNERSHIP, WITH OUR CREW WORKING ON MULTIPLE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE THREE RIVERS DISTRICT OF THE KOOTENAI NATIONAL FOREST. AS WE WORK TO ENHANCE AND PRESERVE THE YAAK'S PRECIOUS AQUATIC RESOURCES, OUR PARTNERSHIP AND COOPERATION WITH THE AGENCIES AND THE COMMUNITY GROWS STRONGER EVERY YEAR.AS THE HEADWATERS PARTNERSHIP FOCUS ON FISH AND FISH HABITAT CONTINUES, WE ALSO TAKE STEPS TO EXPAND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM. WE ARE WORKING TO BRING OUR EFFORTS ACROSS THE BORDER INTO THE BRITISH COLUMBIA PORTION OF THE YAAK. THE MAIN STEM OF THE RIVER ORIGINATES IN CANADA (AS THE YAHK RIVER) AND THE WEST FORK STARTS IN THE U.S., FLOWS INTO CANADA AND THEN FLOWS SOUTH AGAIN ACROSS THE BORDER. WORKING WITH CONSERVATION GROUPS AND MINISTRY BIOLOGISTS NORTH OF THE BORDER IS A PRIORITY. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EFFORTS ARE DUPLICATED IN CANADA SO THAT THE RIVER IS PRESERVED AND RESTORED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: THE LOWLAND TEMPERATE RAINFORESTS OF THE YAAK ARE A REFUGE FOR THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE THAT CALL THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS THEIR HOME.

THE YAAK VALLEY FOREST COUNCIL IS A POSITIVE AND PRACTICAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION WORKING TO ENSURE THIS UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM, AND OUR COMMUNITIES WHO RELY UPON IT, ARE HEALTHY AND RESILIENT. WE WORK IN THE WOODS TO CHAMPION FOREST MANAGEMENT THAT RESULTS IN HEALTHY, RESILIENT FORESTS AND STREAMS. WE WORK IN TOWN TO INSPIRE LEADERSHIP AND NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR COMMUNICATION THAT RESULTS IN HEALTHY KIDS, STRONGER FAMILIES, AND A MORE PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY.WE PROTECT, RESTORE AND CONNECT THIS BIOLOGICAL STRONGHOLD IN THE YAAK THROUGH OUR BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND FOREST WATCH PROGRAM, HEADWATERS PROGRAM, CONSERVATION ED AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY VALUES LIVING CLOSE TO THE LAND, AND OUR WORK IS ROOTED IN THIS IDEAL BECAUSE IN NORTHWEST MONTANA, THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE ARE INSEPARABLE.
