Sunshine rafting on the Flathead River

With the help of generous donors and a match from the Flathead
National Forest and Flathead Rivers Alliance, the Glacier
Conservancy co-sponsors a Big Sky Watershed Corps internship to
support the river system.

We spoke with the 2023 intern, Sunshine Flamer, about her work
educating river users, collecting data, and defending wild
rivers.

"People understand you’re helping the river, but not why. This
position stood out to me because a big objective of the Flathead
Rivers Alliance (FRA) is to help harness the ‘power of why’ in
fostering an environment of self-teaching and pride in river
stewardship among diverse river users."

- Sunshine Flamer, 2023 Flathead Wild and Scenic River Intern

Blackfeet Nation Releases Wild, Free-Roaming Bison After 150
Year Absence

Years of work culminated this week with the release of 25 wild
bison in the Chief Mountain area of the Blackfeet Nation. The
Blackfeet-led effort to reintroduce wild bison, called the
Iiinnii Initiative, is supported in part by Glacier Conservancy
donors.

Your support allows us to fund Blackfeet Range Rider Guardians to
protect the cultural and natural resources of the range, as well
as to fund surveys to monitor the effect of bison on grasslands
and elk populations.
