Wildlife Forever joined forces with leading conservation groups to support the $1 million Blackfoot Watershed Initiative in western Montana. The Blackfoot River, where the movie  River Runs Through It was filmed, was classified as one of North America’s ten most endangered rivers. This project was designed to restore wetlands and riparian areas within the Blackfoot River Valley. A number of problem areas within the 120,000-acre project area were targeted, including wetland drainage, accelerating sub-division rates, and deteriorating spawning habitat for native trout in major tributaries.
