Douglas Workshop Tackles Reclamation Plans on Private and Public Lands

A workshop explaining the soil, water and vegetation components and the monitoring requirements of a reclamation plan will be offered Wednesday, July 22, at the Douglas campus of Eastern Wyoming College, 203 N. Sixth St.

Presentations are relevant to public and private land, organizers say.

Online registration is requested by Monday, July 20, at http://bit.ly/douglasworkshop, while walk-in registration is still welcome the morning of the workshop, beginning at 8:30. Presentations are from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The $20 fee includes lunch.

“We’ve had great responses to our workshops,” says Pete Stahl, Wyoming Reclamation and Restoration Center (WRRC) director and professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Wyoming. The WRRC hosts the sessions.

“This workshop should provide practitioners and all involved in land reclamation with the tools and information to develop a reclamation plan,” Stahl says.

Presenters are from the energy industry, Bureau of Land Management, UW College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and private consulting firms.
