Cover Story in High Country News!

Check out Wudan Yan's excellent article about our project that was the feature story in the latest High Country News! We've already received four new Beartooth otter reports since the magazine hit news stands this past weekend. Great work, Wudan!

    I read it last night - it was awesome! If you're back in the region next summer I'd love to have you come tell this or any story to our participants in Red Lodge.

    Thanks Jason: sorry we couldn't make it work out last summer, but yes I'd be more than happy to come down next summer if possible. Always looking for reasons to make a trip to Red Lodge!

About This Project

Otters are immigrating to the Greater Yellowstone’s historically fishless Beartooth Plateau as a side effect of sport fish stocking as well as climate change. As an “invasive species” in this alpine environment, these predators could have serious consequences for native species. Our team of citizen scientists will collect data on this new population for monitoring and hypothesis testing, and we will share results through both technical and popular formats.
