<br />Identification and assessment of these watersheds is critical to beginning any conservation strategy.
<br />The future of westslope cutthroat and many other aquatic organisms rests upon our ability to manage
<br />these watersheds, many are on Forest Service land. Our actions today can provide future generations
<br />the opponunity to enjoy native fishes and other aquatic organisms in intact, functioning ecosystems.
