How did the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program (CFWEP) begin?
The Natural Resource Damages Program (NRDP) of the State of Montana initially funded the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program (CFWEP) in 2005. With the amount of time, effort and resources going into the restoration of the Clark Fork, the NRDP felt that an investment in education about the restoration was essential to the future health and sustainability of the Clark Fork Basin. Since that time, CFWEP has expanded to serve more teachers, more students, and the public.
