A year-long public art exhibit highlighting Indigenous artists whose ecological knowledge stewards the natural resources of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and beyond.
Tuesday, October 29th – Panel Discussion at the Center for the Arts
Live-streamed Panel Discussions are sponsored by Wyoming Humanities Council
5:30 – 6:30 Home For All: Reflecting on 60 years of Wilderness in Wyoming
Sponsored by the Wyoming Wilderness Association
Moderated by Dr. Shane Doyle (Apsáalooke)
The Home for All Wilderness reflection will be a panel discussion led by a moderator of five wildlands experts that touches on the challenges and opportunities for growth from the perspective of agency managers, Tribal representatives, and regional researchers. Using the anniversaries of the National & Wyoming Wilderness Acts as a lens, our goal is to explore what future decades of comprehensive and equitable public land management within the GYE could look like.
Led by Dr. Shane Doyle (Apsáalooke), four panelists with a deep connection to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) – Linda Merigliano (Bridger-Teton National Forest), Lauren Redmore (Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute), Nolan Brown (Shoshone-Bannock Tribes), and Colleen Friday (Greater Yellowstone Coalition) – 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. Using the anniversaries of the National & Wyoming Wilderness Acts as a lens, this panel will explore what future decades of comprehensive and equitable public land management within the GYE might look like.
