For ranchers and other land managers affected by 2024 wildfires in northeast Wyoming, the Johnson County office of the University of Wyoming Extension will offer an educational rangeland management program in Buffalo on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
The in-person meeting will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Twing Room of the Johnson County Public Library in Buffalo. UW Extension personnel and local, state, and federal agency representatives will be present to share strategies for managing grazing and invasive weeds in the wake of the 2024 wildfires.
“We know that the 2024 wildfires impacted huge swaths of rangelands in northeast Wyoming, including nearly 175,000 acres in Johnson County alone,” explains UW Extension agriculture and natural resources educator Micah Most. “This program is intended to help folks in our agricultural community think through their next steps when it comes to managing their range resources.”
Registration is required and can be completed by visiting https://bit.ly/range-recover-16 or calling (307) 684-7522. There is no cost for attendance. Lunch will be provided for those who register prior to noon on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
