Join us for a morning of community science and plant identification amongst the dramatic red rock slopes of Red Canyon Ranch. We are looking for volunteers interested in gathering data on cheatgrass in Red Canyon so that we can better steward this important and unique landscape. Volunteers will also help TNC expand our efforts to protect Wyoming’s vast sagebrush sea as they pilot a new citizen science survey for gathering data on cheatgrass prevalence across Fremont County, and beyond.
