Yellowstone
River Cleanup
PCEC partnered with
the Montana Dept. of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and local landowners
to rid a high-use section of the Yellowstone River of a series of hazardous,
manmade obstructions strewn along its bed. In late March 2003, dilapidated
car bodies, concrete pilings and a boat were removed from the river
at 4 sites near Livingston. PCEC initiated and coordinated the project
to safeguard public health and property while helping to protect and
restore the Yellowstone as part of our ongoing river campaign.
