Habitat degradation and the effects of climate change are the biggest threats to bull trout in the Blackfoot River watershed of Montana. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks have determined that 90% of all tributaries to the Blackfoot River have extensive habitat degradation that is affecting bull trout populations. The 2015 Bull Trout Recovery Plan identified the Blackfoot River Watershed as one of the highest priority landscapes to ameliorate the identified threats of climate change. This project will restore the four C’s (Cold, Clean, Complex and Connected Habitat) for bull trout and other native salmonids within the Blackfoot Valley Conservation Area (Conservation Easement Refuge).
