Virtual Fencing: Win-Win Tech for Wildlife and Livestock

Voices of Greater Yellowstone ·

2026/02/24

The vast public and private lands that make up Greater Yellowstone are crisscrossed with miles upon miles of fences. While fences aren’t inherently bad—and are often necessary in certain areas to keep wildlife off roads, livestock contained, and property boundaries visible—they create barriers that fragment wildlife habitat. What happens when wildlife can’t reach seasonal habitats—and how can we make wildlife migration and movement easier for these iconic Greater Yellowstone species? Virtual ...

The Fight for Our Public Lands

Voices of Greater Yellowstone ·

2026/01/28

I want you to think of your very favorite spot on public lands. Is it a local backcountry camping site? A trail you love to hike with your friends and family? A secret location in Yellowstone National Park where you find solitude? Now, could you imagine that special spot sold off to the highest bidder and no longer accessible? Today, this is a very real threat. Our public lands are under attack. 2025 was full of assaults on our public lands. From proposed selloffs and protec...

Trout Tales: The Comeback of the Yellowstone Cutthroat

Voices of Greater Yellowstone ·

2025/06/19

Is there any fish species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem more iconic than the Yellowstone cutthroat trout? While the name conjures imagery of a ruthless nature, these fish are called cutthroats due to the distinct red markings found along their jawline and gills. Yellowstone cutthroat trout are a keystone species in the region, providing food to numerous species including bears, otters, ospreys, and others. Yellowstone cutthroat trout are also at the epicenter of one of the most inter...

Re-Indigenizing Public Lands

Voices of Greater Yellowstone ·

2025/05/28

Before public lands were even a concept, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem was, and continues to be, stewarded by Indigenous Peoples. In short, public lands are Native Lands. In today’s world, many current public land management policies exclude or marginalize Indigenous roles and input. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and beyond, a growing movement is pushing to restore Indigenous connection, stewardship, sovereignty, and sustainable practices rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge....

Hydrothermal Explosions: When Yellowstone Goes Boom!

Voices of Greater Yellowstone ·

2025/01/28

What happens beneath Yellowstone is vast and varied. One of the most interesting geological phenomena found here is hydrothermal explosions. While they may not have a timetable like some of the iconic geysers, or the breathtaking colors of some pools, 2024’s sky-high event at Biscuit Basin put hydrothermal explosions on the map. Reading about this unpredictable encounter got me thinking: what are the underlying forces behind hydrothermal explosions? Is the caldera waking up? How are they...
