Volunteers near Cody, Wyoming joined GYC and the Absaroka Fence Initiative to remove 1.83 miles of barbed wire fence. By removing or modifying fencing across the ecosystem, we're enhancing habitat connectivity and wildlife migration and movement routes.

Head over to our blog through the link in the comments and see what it takes to accomplish this on-the-ground work for Greater Yellowstone's iconic wildlife.

You’ve proven time and time again how incredible our advocates are.

An enormous thank you to everyone who signed our petition opposing the creation of I-47 aka “Trump Interstate.” Over 6,500 people from all backgrounds and political stripes agree—this is no place for a 4-lane, 80 mph interstate!

We’ll keep you up-to-date with any new developments regarding I-47. Thank you for all you do for Greater Yellowstone!

Millions of acres of spectacular, undeveloped places are at risk of development. These lands are the source of our drinking water, home to iconic wildlife, and the heart of our outdoor recreation heritage. Speak up against the elimination of the Roadless Rule today: https://www.greateryellowstone.org/take-action/protect-the-roadless-rule?utm_source=meta&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=roadlessrule

🚨Take action today and tell the U.S. Department of Agriculture to keep the Roadless Rule.🚨

The USDA wants to eliminate the 25-year-old Roadless Area Conservation Rule—one of America’s most successful and broadly supported conservation measures. This rollback threatens nearly 45 million acres of America’s wild, undeveloped national forests, including 10 million acres of public lands in Montana and Wyoming.

More than 49 Indigenous tribes have current or ancestral connections to the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
