Registration Open for Managing Wildlife in Large Landscapes Conference in Jackson
Published August 15, 2025
Registration is now open for the Managing Wildlife in Large Landscapes Conference, to be held Oct. 1-2 at the Snow King Resort in Jackson.
This dynamic, two-day event is hosted by the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources in collaboration with Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks.
The conference will bring researchers, land managers, Indigenous leaders, policymakers and community members from iconic landscapes across the planet to the greater Yellowstone ecosystem in search of reciprocal learning about how to conserve wildlife and steward the landscapes they depend on.
Conference registration is $200 and includes full access to plenaries, panels, a student poster session and networking events. Space is limited to 200 participants, so early registration is strongly encouraged.
In every corner of the world, large ecosystems that foster diverse wildlife and complex species interactions sprawl over jurisdictional boundaries. They provide ecological wonders and societal benefits, but they also present considerable management challenges and potential for conflict. The conference will explore the challenges and opportunities for conserving and managing wildlife in large, complex landscapes through four global, cross-cutting themes. The themes are: Indigenous and local communities, human-wildlife conflict, transboundary collaboration and change.
A Jackson Fork Ranch student poster session, scheduled for the afternoon of Oct. 1, will showcase the work of UW graduate students engaged in wildlife, conservation and natural resource research. Awards will be given for outstanding posters in several categories.
UW students are eligible for free registration and should email Professor Temple Stoellinger at tstoelli@uwyo.edu to receive a student discount code. Students who wish to submit a poster should also email Stoellinger.
