A Path Forward Begins Here
Smart River Conservation™
A proven, science-driven system for cold, clear water.

The River Is Changing — And This Is Our Moment
Hotter summers. Lower, turbid late-season flows. Shifting hatches.
The Henry’s Fork is feeling the strain of a changing West — but we know a path forward.
Our Answer: Smart River Conservation™
Built on 40 years of science, Smart River Conservation™ is:
- Science Where It Matters
Root-cause, limiting-factor solutions that protect what the river needs most. - Partnership That Works
Irrigators, landowners, agencies, and anglers working from the same shared data. - Execution With Proof
Data turned into visible outcomes: colder water, clearer flows, stronger fish. - Focus That Scales
Deep local work that informs conservation systems across the West. - Accountability by Design
Every dollar tracked, measured, and maximized to deliver high-impact, lasting results.
Proof You Can See
- +500 trout per year in Box Canyon
- 24,000 acre-feet conserved to keep key reaches cooler
- Daily Water Report guiding real-time decisions
- High-impact monitoring across the watershed
Real outcomes. Powered by you.
Why Your Gift Matters Now
If we want colder water by July, the work starts in January.
Year-end gifts determine how much science we can deploy before runoff.
This isn’t just a donation — it’s an investment in a proven system that’s reshaping how the Henry’s Fork, and rivers across the West, are managed.
