About BFRWP
Mission Statement
Coordinate available resources to address concerns associated with the Belle Fourche River Watershed and the riparian areas within.
Goal of the Partnership
We are a volunteer group of local people and organizations dedicated to the enhancement of the Belle Fourche River Watershed. The Partnership's goal is to provide a voluntary management approach to the Belle Fourche River Watershed to conserve its natural resources, foster a long term economic stability of its communities, maintain the social and cultural values of those communities, and ensure the sustainability of the primary aquifer basin's safe yield.
The Partnerships success has been through forming a strong relationship that communicates ideas between private ag. producers and local, state, federal agencies and the general public.
