Clark Fork Task Force
Part-time Coordinator- The Clark Fork River Basin Task Force is seeking a part-time Coordinator to lead monthly meetings, research water policy topics and facilitate conferences and workshops. The Task Force was formed legislatively in 2001 to provide broad-based citizen input into plans and policies related to water use in Montana's Clark Fork River basin. This basin encompasses 22,000 square miles and is home to 330,000 people. The Coordinator helps Task Force members work to find solutions that meet future water demand, as well as protect the existing water users in the basin.
