The Fish Creek Watershed Management Plan Is Here
For more than a decade, our community has worked to protect Fish Creek. Now we finally have a way to restore it.
What began in 2014 as a grassroots effort through Friends of Fish Creek, now Protect Our Water Jackson Hole (POWJH), has grown into a coalition of residents, anglers, scientists, agencies, and nonprofits, all focused on monitoring water quality, documenting changes in the creek, and advocating for long-term solutions.
Those efforts culminated this year in the creation of the Fish Creek Management Plan by the Teton Conservation District and Wyoming DEQ. The plan outlines science-based strategies to restore Fish Creek’s water quality, improve its habitat, and return it to a Class I waterbody. The plan also unlocks access to state and federal restoration funding through the EPA’s 319 program, creating a rare opportunity to implement real solutions on the ground.
Those funds come with a requirement for community participation. That’s where we come in.
Protect Our Water Jackson Hole is launching the “Let’s Fix Fish Creek” campaign to support continued water quality monitoring, accelerate restoration opportunities as they arise, and provide dedicated local funding that helps move projects from planning to implementation.
