469: Kathy Lichtendahl - Yellowstone in Winter
Episode 469
Monday, 13 April, 2026
In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, which was recorded in-person and is audio-only, I sit down with Kathy Lichtendahl, a certified Wyoming naturalist and conservation storyteller (and amazing photographer). We recorded this right after wrapping up our winter photography workshop in Yellowstone. We dive deep into what makes the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem unique, from dramatic seasonal changes and resilient wildlife adaptations to the vital role of humans in conservation stories. Kathy Lichtendahl explains the intricate balance of the park's biodiversity, the constantly evolving geothermal features, and the controversial reintroduction of wolves. She also offers practical advice for ethical wildlife photography, shares what being a naturalist brings to her photographic work, and highlights the importance of preserving Yellowstone for future generations. If you’re interested in viewing Yellowstone through a lens of wonder, responsibility, and conservation, this episode is a must-listen.
