Wyoming is home to some of North America’s most beautiful landscapes and wildlife, but its harsh and unpredictable climate make restoring ecosystems difficult.  Wildfires, invasive weeds, long and cold winters, hot and dry summers, low soil fertility, and rugged terrain are some of the issues that present challenges to creating functional ecosystems and wildlife habitat in the state.  Over the past 16 years, researchers associated with Abnova Ecological Solutions have worked to solve these challenges and have found success utilizing proven ecological concepts. 

The talk Friday night  with focus on pathways to improving habitat and ecosystem functionality in the Dubois area.  Seed mix design, installation, terrestrial food web and ecological concepts will be discussed at Dennison at 7 pm.

Saturday morning at 9 am a nature walk will take place with the emphasis on identification of flora and fauna in the area to implement these ideas. Meet at the Sheep Center.
