The Tarkio Retreat brings together important voices and new leaders from many sectors, including the film and television industries, both independent filmmakers as well as broadcast organizations, foundations and individual funders, conservation organizations, universities and other academic institutions, corporations, policy, scientific and natural resource organizations and institutes.

The Tarkio Retreat-
Forging New Partnerships in Media & Conservation

These working groups, through intimate and relaxed workshops and social interaction in a magnificent natural setting, address and explore new ways of building partnerships and creating successful collaborations.

The name Tarkio comes from an old Indian term meaning tree, growing from a seed.  This name was adopted by the Retreat because the first gathering was held in an area of western Montana known as Tarkio.
