Sunset on the Missouri River Breaks The State of Montana is the first state in the entire 10-state Missouri River Basin to organize and fund a true grassroots entity focused solely on the Missouri River. Through this Council, Conservation Districts and their constituents (you! if you are a registered voter within the District boundaries) are given a unified front and collective voice when addressing natural resource issues, opportunities, and challenges associated with the Missouri River. Conservation Districts, through public elections, represent local residents’ views and concerns regarding natural resources – giving this Council a true grassroots perspective of Missouri River issues.
