LandSignals 2024
Jackson Hole Public Art is producing LandSignals to envision a future that more authentically includes Indigenous voices and traditional ecological knowledge to help us better steward the natural resources and cultural heritage of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Indigenous artists have been commissioned to participate in this project and their work will be unveiled at the the Center for the Arts, Russ Garaman Park, the new Jackson Hole History Museum, and the Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center at the Elk Refuge.

SummaryPlease join the Wyoming Wilderness Association at Center for the Arts for a moderated panel featuring expert voices in wildland conservation and stewardship on October 29th at 5:30 pm, as they discuss the need for and future of wilderness within the Cowboy State.
Led by Dr. Shane Doyle (Apsáalooke), panelists with a deep connection to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) will reflect on collective efforts in wildland conservation, including the challenges and opportunities for growth from the perspective of agency managers, Tribal representatives, and regional researchers.
