This visually arresting and galvanizing portrayal of the living Colorado River and the challenges it faces engages and inspires readers on an epic watershed journey that celebrates life, beauty, and resilience. As the seven states of the century-old Colorado River Compact renegotiate the river’s management guidelines, which expire in 2026, Living River takes readers on a journey through the endangered Colorado River from source to sea, and illustrates how we can create a resilient watershed by changing our relationship with water. Featuring stunning photography and powerful essays, Living River captures breathtaking landscapes rich with wildlife, from the upper Colorado’s tributary Fraser River to the southwestern Gila and San Pedro Rivers. Along the way, Showalter weaves in the stories of riverkeepers who work tirelessly to protect and preserve the river and its surrounding communities. Living River is published by Braided River, the conservation imprint of Mountaineers Books. Don't miss your chance to hear from one of the most talented and passionate voices in conservation photography today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/5d9c552b-49c0-4f81-bbbb-c1fd73439b2a/HSF+full+color+4.png Events - Living River, Voices of the River, at Lath Pavilion | Heritage Square - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/d11b8896-3649-47e8-ac55-804597e5b638/20151116_031958.png Events - Living River, Voices of the River, at Lath Pavilion | Heritage Square - Yolanda Hart Stevens: Connections to Holistic Material: Native Culture Today and Tomorrow Join Yolanda Hart Stevens as she talks about water, land, and the environmental challenges impacting Native communities. From birth to death, the mesquite tree is an integral part of life for many who call the desert home. The mesquite tree is just one of many holistic materials, elements of our natural environment, that are vital to sustaining Native culture and practices. But climate change and environmental degradation are changing the landscapes of Arizona. From the lack of water resources to the loss of mesquite trees, the future is uncertain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/44e0c1dd-ecf3-45f5-a6de-a82432f04e95/DShow_Flttps_WllLk.jpg Events -

Wyoming’s Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge has a healthy otter population estimated at more than thirty pairs of breeding adults, an indicator of good water quality and abundant fish stocks. Seedskadee river otters generally prey on crayfish and slower-moving fish like native white sucker—scat sampling at hollowed-log den sites revealed a strong preference for crayfish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/0253b455-4d06-4aa4-ad72-cb7c59109e06/SDSKD_prong.jpeg Photo Gallery A small herd of pronghorn race across snow-covered sagebrush flats in Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, Wyoming.

Henry then hauls the water from Gouldings resort’s well to the Wilsons’ Monument Valley home, where it is distributed to tanks for the family garden, livestock, and home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/effe2cdc-50ea-4fe1-8f11-27c649546f6e/LSnk_GSgfemwng.jpeg Photo Gallery When a greater sage-grouse female raises her wings, signaling her readiness to mate, the male puffs up his chest and spreads his tail feathers as these noble, emblematic western birds do their part to continue the species. Sage-grouse, hard wired to thrive in open sagebrush lands—all they need is expanses of unbroken sage—are imperiled due to widespread habitat destruction. How we treat the land impacts rivers too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/e62c403f-56e3-45e6-bd95-150a7ddc647c/GJ_Dmngz_CllrdLzrd_talk.jpeg Photo Gallery Colorful collared lizards, commonly seen in Dominguez Canyons Wilderness on the edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau, range throughout the Southwest, feeding on insects and other lizards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/5fe24b9e-593c-49c6-8e17-7e8de2690581/Downstrrm_GC_boatdeepcyn.jpg Photo Gallery Floating through geologic time in the Grand Canyon’s inner gorge in a 32- to 37-foot J-Rig raft: five pontoons lashed together carry fifteen to twenty passengers and two guides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/c6355437-f041-4bb5-aee0-739e43d82226/Gila_bvr_IrnB_CU.jpg Photo Gallery Beavers on the flash flood–prone upper Gila build their lodges in riverbanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/9f85b1ee-8cac-4800-b508-0a58592f3ff1/COr_DollHs_Cnynlnds.jpeg Photo Gallery Morning light pierces an opening in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, to paint rock formations of the Doll House and the Colorado River in reflected gold during a Cataract Canyon rafting trip with Audubon Rockies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fd4f8c0fc7d54d14653f0a/5828f7ec-ff43-4d4e-bb4a-a3cbfe7fea3b/BE_teepeeII.jpeg Photo Gallery Elders of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition—Navajo Nation, Ute Indian Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni, Hopi Tribe, and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe—held a ceremony that lasted through the night at the 2019 Utah Diné Bikéyah (DEE-nay bee-KAY-ah) Summer Gathering.
