Our Work to Protect the Waters of Greater Yellowstone

Snake River
The Campaign For the Snake Headwaters – better known by its acronym “C-Fish” – is a visionary effort led by local citizens, businesses, anglers, boaters and conservationists to permanently protect the best remaining free-flowing rivers and streams of northwest Wyoming’s Snake River drainage by including them in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Our primary goal is to convince Congress to pass Wild & Scenic rivers legislation for the Snake Headwaters by the end of 2006.

Chester Diversion Dam
On Oct. 22, 2008, ceremonial ground was broken for the Chester Dam hydroelectric project on the world-famous Henry's Fork of the Snake River. The project will include fish screens and a ladder that will allow rainbow, brown and Yellowstone cutthroat trout to migrate past this point for the first time in some 70 years, assuring crucial genetic diversity for the imperiled cutthroat.

Yellowstone River
The Yellowstone River is nationally recognized for its scenic qualities and native trout fisheries. Unfortunately, a slew of rip rap and bank stabilization projects beginning in 1996-97 is turning its banks into something closer to the Ohio Canal.
