Event Overview

Many Ways to Look Closely at the Land

Learn how to observe like a naturalist, write like a poet and contribute to a public artwork! 

Drop in between 9 am-12 pm or 1 pm – 3 pm for any amount of time. The workshop will be held in the lower rotunda of the Draper Natural History Museum. All materials are provided. 

Alongside artist Austen Camille, you will get close to specimens from the Draper Natural History Museum collection—insects, reptiles, mammals, birds—and learn more about their roles and relationships in the local sagebrush landscape.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute your observations to a new public artwork located at The Nature Conservancy’s Heart Mountain Ranch Preserve outside of Cody. Draper Museum staff and Nature Conservancy staff will be present to answer your questions about the specimens and the sagebrush ecosystem.
