“Join us for a wild ride of adventure above, on, and below the amazing Driftless Region! Emmy- winning filmmakers George Howe, Tim Jacobson, Rob Nelson, and Neil Rettig have teamed up with Jonas Stenstrom of Untamed Science, to capture fantastic footage of the Driftless Region, and weave it into a compelling story, in a way never done before. You’ll soar over ancient rugged bluffs, skim the surface of primordial rivers, venture deep underground to mysterious secret worlds, marvel at sacred archeological treasures, and hang perilously over massive rock cliffs. One thing for sure, you’ll never forget this film, and you’ll want to share it with everyone you know!”

George Howe is a founding member, educator, and film producer for Sustainable Driftless Inc. He also works as an environmental consultant in the Driftless Area; his main clients are landowners, land trusts, area schools and Universities, and local governments. Howe has led land conservation efforts for the Minnesota Land Trust and the Mississippi Valley Conservancy that have permanently protected over 15,000 acres of natural lands, including some of the rarest natural communities in America. Previously, Howe also worked as a research scientist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, publishing 21 scientific articles in aquatic toxicology.
