Rewilding and Biodiversity with ColoradoWild: Buffalo, Beavers, and Wolves

Science Uncorked: Rewilding and Biodiversity with ColoradoWild: Buffalo, Beavers, and Wolves

Presented by Becca Sue Burkhalter

ColoradoWIld is excited to offer a free, educational event where we discuss the role of three keystone species in the American West: buffalo, beaver, and wolves. These species created the American West’s landscape, and when we lost their presence, we lost the west as well. We will answer questions like, “How many bison/beaver/wolves used to be here?”, “How many are here now?”, and “What can we do to help?”

Come talk about biodiversity, rewilding, and hope August 28 at Whitewater Hill Vineyards!
