Montana's rivers are a lifeblood for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and its wildlife and people. They provide habitat for aquatic species, drinking and agricultural water, and countless jobs for Montana's $7.1 billion outdoor recreation industry and beyond. So, how do we ensure these crucial rivers are protected for generations to come?

In Episode 01, we sit down with the Greater Yellowstone Coalition's Charles Drimal and Ryan Cruz to hear about their work conserving the waterways in Montana's section of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We'll focus on the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act, a made-in-Montana bill that protects more than 380 river miles from development and degradation.

Our rivers take care of us, now it's time we take care of them!

Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 49+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.
