Sustaining
Working Lands, Open Spaces & Clean Water in the Upper Yellowstone Watershed
Those are the values of the Upper Yellowstone Watershed Group. That's what we do. As local citizens, we passionately pursue them out of love for the Upper Yellowstone Watershed...and our obligation to leave it better and more sustainable than we found it for the coming generations...no matter the species.
The Yellowstone River stretches over 670 miles and is the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states...
Wildlife & Forests
Our businesses and citizens are surrounded by some of the largest expanses of public lands in North America. We work on various projects that support the fisheries and wildlife of this region and those who live and work here, dependent on the value it brings.

Our tourism and recreation businesses, alongside private land owners, work together to protect water quality and quantity for future generations of fish, wildlife & people.
