Life in the Land: The Upper Yellowstone River

Along this stretch of the river, in an area of Montana commonly known as Paradise Valley, various dynamics exist: family ranches, destination fly fishing, the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, and key wildlife habitat. Hear from a rancher, a river restoration professional, an outdoor recreation business owner, and a Traditional Ecological Knowledge educator who are all deeply connected to this river. Whether the challenge is drought, flood, impact from river recreation, development, or otherwise, witness how approaches that are guided by local communities and by the river itself can create greater resiliency for the people and place here. Learn about the work of the Upper Yellowstone Watershed Group, showing what is possible when people with varying priorities work together for the benefit of the river and landscape that connects them.
We hope this film gives a window into some of the specific elements of this river and the people connected to it, as well as messages that resonate for people around the world as they look at their own relationship with their local river.
