Learn more about Tom Murphy…
For more than fifty years, Tom Murphy has lived and worked in Yellowstone National Park as a photographer, author, environmentalist, and witness to one of America’s most fragile and magnificent landscapes. He is the only person to have skied the entire 175 miles of Yellowstone in winter—an extraordinary feat that reflects both his deep knowledge of the park and his lifelong commitment to its preservation.
Tom will share the powerful story behind his iconic bison photograph—recently selected for a USPS Forever Stamp to be released in May. He would also share insights from his forthcoming book, Yellowstone Bison, published in collaboration with Yellowstone Forever.
Over the years, Tom has been a steadfast supporter of the Sierra Club and has dedicated his life to documenting endangered landscapes and advocating for the wildlife of Yellowstone. At a time when irreplaceable places—from Yellowstone and the Boundary Waters to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Death Valley—are increasingly under threat, his voice and work feel especially urgent and relevant.
Tom’s presentations are visually stunning, deeply informed, and grounded in firsthand experience that few can claim. He also brings a unique perspective as a longtime photography instructor, helping others see—and protect—what is at stake.You can learn more about Tom’s work at https://www.tmurphywild.com/, and view his acclaimed Montana PBS documentary, Christmas in Yellowstone, which speaks to both the beauty and vulnerability of the park.
