Celebrating the Wildlife and Forestry Career Pathways 2017-2018 year!

Description

For my former students... Next week will be a transition for me. I'll be teaching only college courses this semester. So that means I could have you as a student again! Sign up for nre 205 ( wildlife ecology) nre 114 ( Colorado wildlife), or nre 215 ( fire ecology)! I'm not quitting the high school program. It's in good hands with Ray Aberle this semester, and I'll take over again in the fall! Exciting times! Side note...sign up quickly if you want to take outdoor rec, ornithology, or wildlife management as these courses are in danger of not running due to low enrollment!

CHRISTMAS TREES! Come and get your FRESH, Local, Inexpensive Christmas Tree! Tired of your plastic Christmas tree? Want to improve forest health in OUR backyard? These trees are cut from the forest in order to reduce fire hazard, improve the health of remaining trees and ultimately, improve our water! Wow- What a difference. Hey, did I mention that your purchase supports our forestry students? What a deal! FRIDAY 3pm- Dark (about 5pm) at the SW parking lot of FRCC (Corner of Shields and Harmony).

We were just leaving Estes Park when I asked my van full of students, “So how was it? What did you get out of today?” One of my more thoughtful students,

The Red Desert to Hoback migration is nearly complete. Just a few stragglers still moving towards summer range. The long-distance migrants always take longer to migrate - true also in the autumn migration. These long migrations mean they spend less time on poor quality winter range. We are learning that diverse migratory strategies allows more animals to prosper on the same (large!) year-round range. Fortunately, Wyoming has a lot of space for these animals to exploit each year.
