This study provides CBJ with an overview of the value of the Montana Creek watershed to Juneau residents and an outline of management recommendations to ensure the sustainability of the fish habitat and recreational opportunities. As CBJ updates the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, this community based plan can inform and guide the planning and management decisions. A complete dowloadable version of the study can be found here.
As the most important clear water tributary to the Mendenhall River, Montana Creek offers vital salmon, trout and char habitat as well as outstanding recreational opportunities for fishing, hiking, hunting and wildlife viewing. The goal of the Juneau Chapter of TU is to ensure the sustainability of the Montana Creek watershed as a fishery, recreation area and educational asset to our community.
The Juneau Chapter of TU initiated the Montana Creek Project in May 2006 to contribute as a grass roots, community effort to the revision of the City and Borough of Juneau's Comprehensive Plan.
