The Gallatin River Task Force (Task Force) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Big Sky, with a focus on protecting and improving the health of the Upper Gallatin River and its tributaries. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many entities and individuals involved in this effort. The main funders of plan development included the Big Sky Resort Area Tax District, and Gallatin and Madison Counties. Initial seed funding was provided by the Big Sky Water and Sewer District, Lone Mountain Land Company, and the Yellowstone Club. Thank you to the stakeholders and their representative organizations that contributed time, energy, and brain power to become educated in water issues in the Big Sky Community, roll up their sleeves and spend countless hours developing creative solutions to complex water issues.
