Hunting and Fishing Symposium - 2024
Saturday, April 6th at the Central Wyoming College Intertribal Center in Riverton, WY
Join us on Saturday, April 6th, for discussions about hunting, fishing, and biodiversity, honoring hunting and fishing through art, science, and stories.
There is something intangible about hunting and fishing that intertwines age-old elements of instinct and sacrament. It’s the spark that led many a young naturalist afield for the first time and held them there for a lifetime of learning, compelled to know the names and habits of all nature of animals, flowers, mushrooms, and more. These discussions are free and open to the public, and are not limited to hunters or anglers. People from all backgrounds, with any level of interest in hunting and fishing, are invited to attend.
Featuring:
- Free food
- Tabling from local organizations
- Talks surrounding local management and conservation issues
- Short talks from UW researchers and graduate students with biodiversity projects
- Short talks from local biologist experts
