What do grizzly bears, birds, wolves, and fish have in common?

A dependence on gravel bed rivers—a special type of river found in the mountains—and their floodplains. Here in the Kootenays, our rivers don't just flow in their visible channels, but also flow underground across the valley floor, supporting an extraordinary diversity of life.
