All trees have a story!🌲
The Lower Wind River Conservation District offers a fun and interactive tree ring lesson for youth, where we explore how trees tell the story of their lives through their rings. From droughts and wildfires to years of healthy growth, every ring has something to say!

If your group would like to learn more, let us know — we offer several hands-on educational activities and are happy to share them year-round with schools, youth groups, and community organizations.

To read a tree’s past, study the patterns in its rings. Sudden shifts in width can show drought, fire or insect damage. By observing these clues, you can learn how the forest responded to past events.

Happening today here in Riverton! See details below to register.

The Public Lands Council (PLC) invites grazing permittees to a roundtable on Tuesday, April 28 in Riverton to discuss federal lands grazing issues.

The roundtable will bring together permittees and lessees with leadership from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in an effort to increase dialogue and on-the-ground problem solving for grazing issues in fulfillment of the USDA/DOI Grazing Industry Plan released by the Departments last fall.

The roundtable will be designed to provide feedback to USDA and DOI about existing regulations and guidance documents, improvements in administration of the programs, and methods to improve communication between the agencies and permittees.

Permittees and affiliate staff partners invited to attend and engage in productive dialogue with federal agency partner staff. The discussion will be moderated by PLC staff and leadership.

Please RSVP in advance for the location and further information ahead of the roundtable.

Conservation districts across the country are leading the charge on forestry stewardship and locally led conservation.

Through supporting wildfire resilience, advancing reforestation, restoring critical watersheds, and leading post-disaster recovery, districts are delivering in ways few others can. Their strength lies not only in technical expertise but in their deep-rooted relationships with landowners, community members, and agency partners.
