Rivers are Life announced it's participating in this year's Wildlands Music event taking place in Big Sky.

The music event is meant to support outdoor conservation.

BOZEMAN, Mont., July 29, 2025 (Newswire.com) - Rivers are Life, a network of River Heroes who are invested in the protection of rivers around the world, today announced a partnership with Wildrye Distilling, a celebrated Montana-based craft distillery, to release "The Confluence Collection" - a limited-edition series of four unique whiskeys inspired by the iconic rivers of Montana.

Rivers are Life, a global network focused on protecting waterways, will sponsor this year’s festival and kick off the event with a river cleanup along the Tittabawassee River on Thursday, July 31. The organization is partnering with local groups for the effort, including the Midland Area Community Foundation, Chippewa Nature Center, Little Forks Conservancy, and the Midland County Historical Society.

Volunteers with Little Forks Conservancy will soon return to the Cedar River for the biannual stream sampling event on Saturday, May 17. This long-running project uses aquatic macroinvertebrates—animals without a backbone that can be seen with the naked eye—to help assess water quality in the river. This event is being sponsored by Rivers Are Life.

On Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., volunteers of all ages are invited to take part in Little Forks Conservancy’s Cedar River Stream Sampling event located at 145 Clendening Road in Gladwin. It is proudly sponsored by Rivers are Life.

For the project, 200 students and volunteers from 15 different colleges came to Memphis. Over the next three weeks, hundreds of college students will make their way to Memphis to clean up trash at McKellar Lake downtown.
