Henry's Fork Foundation

HistoryFTR, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was started in 2000 by a group of farmers, fishing guides, scientists, conservationists and government agency representatives that shared concerns about the health of the watershed. FTR was established to develop a thorough scientific understanding of water resources in the Teton Basin, and to use that knowledge to protect and improve those resources. FTR spent its first four years primarily focused on research and establishing baseline data for water quality, ground and surface water hydrology and fisheries in the Teton Basin. Based on this research, FTR developed a watershed restoration strategy that prioritizes fish passage improvements, habitat restoration and stream flow restoration on the Teton River tributaries as the most important steps for reestablishing overall watershed health. FTR coordinates watershed protection activities that support these strategies with state, federal and local government entities.SpecialtiesFriends of the Teton River works for clean water, healthy streams and abundant fisheries in Teton Valley, Idaho.
