Wildlife and natural history subject of March colloquium at CWC

A trio of Dubois residents provides an “armchair adventure” of Yellowstone National Park for Central Wyoming College’s March Colloquium Wednesday, March 10 at 3:30 p.m. in room 129 of CWC’s Classroom Wing.
CWC Dubois Outreach Coordinator Michele Burdick along with outfitter Meredith Taylor and photographer Cynthia Boyhan share images they gathered of bison, elk, coyote, fox and wolves.
Most people only experience Yellowstone in the summer, Burdick said, who took a group of 10 into Yellowstone in mid-February when a majority of the visitors are wolf researchers tracking the animals through radio collars. The trip was partially funded by the Wyoming Humanities Council “We the People” grant.
They had the opportunity to meet with Douglas Smith, who is the National Park Service’s wolf project leader, and to see a slide show by Dan Hartman, who is a year round Yellowstone resident who guides filmmakers in the park.
The adventure takes place near Mammoth and the Lamar Valley. The presenters will discuss human and natural history of the park, and relate information from the wolf experts.
Central schedules a colloquium, or academic discussion, each month and the public is invited to participate.
