                   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:

  1. Science Where It Matters
    Root-cause, limiting-factor solutions that protect what the river needs most.
  2. Partnership That Works
    Irrigators, landowners, agencies, and anglers working from the same shared data.
  3. Execution With Proof
    Data turned into visible outcomes: colder water, clearer flows, stronger fish.
  4. Focus That Scales
    Deep local work that informs conservation systems across the West.
  5. 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.
