Paradise Valley

Paradise Valley stretches between Gardiner and Livingston along the Yellowstone River, covering some of the most active working lands in grizzly country. Ranches, guest operations, and a growing residential population share this landscape with bears moving between Yellowstone and the broader ecosystem. Glastonbury and the Emigrant area are key communities where coexistence work is expanding.

What we do in Paradise Valley:

Electric fence loans and cost-share for ranches, orchards, and small farms
