WaterSmart Montana is an educational effort from the Missoula Valley Water Quality District and its partners aimed at highlighting the important role streamside native plants and trees play in keeping our water clean. This site offers some basic information on these remarkable plants, tips for ensuring water quality and links to resources for additional help. Clean water and healthy streamside (riparian) areas add immeasurably to our quality of life in Western Montana. Let's keep it that way by being WaterSmart.
