2021 Presentations

Webinar 1- "Response to Catastrophic Wildfires: A Collaborative Approach in Sublette County”

Webinar Description: Sublette County Conservation District (SCCD), along with many other partners, have combined expertise and resources to assist in the recovery and rehabilitation of the natural resources affected by large fires in SW Wyoming. There have been three large fires since 2012 (Fontenelle 2012, Cliff Creek 2016, and Roosevelt 2018) that have occurred on the landscape affecting multiple resources and land ownerships. SCCD along with other partners have developed a great collaborative effort to combine resources to address concerns dealing with the effects of these fires. Every fire has been different, but the Team has learned from each event and continues to get better and faster at their response.

Webinar 3- " Secrets of the Sagebrush Sea”

Webinar Description: To the untrained eye, the rangelands of Sublette County can look like a monotonous sea of sagebrush. But did you know that there are over 20 different species of Sagebrush in Sublette County? And each species has a very specific need to thrive on the landscape. Join Shari Meeks as she takes us on a stroll through the diverse rangelands of Sublette County. You don't have to be an ecologist to appreciate diversity on the landscape, even when it all appears the same from the highway!
