Community-driven Stewardship
We have a shared responsibility among locals, visitors, and all stakeholders to actively participate in preserving and sustaining the Upper Yellowstone Watershed. It's about working together to protect what we all value. Everyone has a voice, and everyone plays a role. Get Involved…..
Here are just some reasons our community is involved…
“The Upper Yellowstone Watershed Group is here for people to engage—just the fact that you care about the Upper Yellowstone and the Paradise Valley.”
“Everyone may not agree all the time, but it means that we have some sort of united vision.”
“We all love what’s here. But we need to take care of it…..And in order to succeed in sustaining and preserving what we have, we all need to participate.”
“Our members are local citizens who believe that individual actions by all, visitors and property owners alike, can make a major positive difference.”
“Come and have your voice be heard. Let’s identify the things that can benefit the watershed and make them happen.”
“Everyone has their part to play here in the Upper Yellowstone.”

“A watershed is that area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by their common water course and where, as humans settled, simple logic demanded that they become part of a community.”
— John Wesley Powell
