Stewarding Wyoming’s Landscapes through Hunting and Fishing - 2023
Saturday, March 4th at the Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center
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.
Join us Saturday, March 4th, for discussions about hunting, fishing and biodiversity, honoring hunting and fishing through art, science, and stories.
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.
Food, Drinks and More:
- Fly Rods and Fly Tying Demonstrations
- Games
- Hunter Safety
- Fish Printing
- Live Fish & Aquatic Invertebrates
- Skulls and Skins Displays
