The Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program is represented and governed by two separate committees

1. The Steering Committee is a committee of senior land managers and agency and non government organisations interested in Ecosystem Restoration. They meet twice a year to approve the budgets, priorities, direction and policies.

2. The Operations Committee is the program managers from agencies, land trusts, forest licensees and non government organisations. They develop annual plans, site specific projects and policies and recommend budgets and priorities to the Steering Committee.

3. Both Committees are committed to the following:
