Headwaters Council.
Spring 2026 · Washington, D.C.
The year opens at the sources — snowpack, rivers, fish — because everything below is decided by what fell in the mountains. The table hears what people are already carrying, scans the region for what has stopped, and chooses which of it this body will take up for the year. What leaves the room is a short list with a name against each line.
