Against the Current

“Against the Current” tells the story of competing water interests between agriculture and wildlife, and how one group finds a sustainable solution for all. Set on the Ox Yoke Ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana, this film highlights a successful collaboration between the Murphy Family, Trout Unlimited, the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, and the State of Montana, to restore the connection of Fridley Creek. As students learn about the restoration of this small creek, they will develop a broader understanding of connections between land, water, fish, and humans. As Montana biologist Pat Byorth eloquently states, “Our fate is tied to the fate of the rivers.”
