How NorthWestern Energy helps fuel recreation projects along Montana rivers
NorthWestern Energy’s impact on recreation in the Missouri and Madison river corridors across Montana is undeniable, with contributions to projects ranging from Memorial Island to the River’s Edge Trail, the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, and various boat ramps.
But what ties all these outdoor landmarks together? NorthWestern Energy’s commitment to recreation as part of its hydroelectric licensing agreement.
Welch encourages all interested parties to attend, stating, “We really find value in partnering with different entities as they know their areas a little bit better than we do, managing such a large corridor.”
Dates of upcoming meetings are:
- September 23, 6-8 p.m. Hebgen Ranger District Office, 330 Gallatin Road, West Yellowstone
- September 24, 6-8 p.m. Madison Valley Public Library, 210 Main Street, Ennis
- October 15, 6-8 p.m. Montana WILD Education Center, 2668 Broadwater Avenue, Helena
- October 17, 6-8 p.m. Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, 4201 Giant Springs Road, Great Falls.
