Our steering committee is comprised of members from nonprofit organizations, state and federal agencies, non-RMC faculty, private landowners, and environmental managers from corporations and businesses. They all share an interest in the Yellowstone River watershed and engaging the next generation of conservation stewards in field-based research. Their role is to help review and provide feedback on student proposals and to help us with fundraising and new project development.
