Spawning Habitat Restoration

A Collaboration with NWE, FWP, Geum Consulting

The Madison River Foundation, in partnership with NorthWestern Energy (NWE), Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) and Geum Consulting is launching a vital restoration effort to revive historic trout spawning habitat along the upper Madison River. Once thriving nurseries for native trout, these side channels have been lost over time. 

Phase 1 will begin this spring 2025
