The University of Wyoming’s Wyoming Reclamation and Restoration Center (WRRC) is hosting the event.
“One of the main objectives of this workshop is to discuss how we can best continue to produce natural resources here in the state of Wyoming while at the same time conserve our great wildlife habitat,” said Pete Stahl, WRRC director and soil ecology professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management.
“There is a lot of planning, coordination and collaborative work required among natural resource producers, regulatory agencies and the public to accomplish this. We want to facilitate discussions along these lines at the workshop.”
