• RNEW 1000: Wyo Wildlands:Science & Stewar

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Introduces students to the breadth of Wyoming natural resources and ecosystems. In this class we investigate the science and management of the Wyoming landscape. Students are introduced to the rangelands, wildlife, forests, watersheds, and disturbed lands of Wyoming with an emphasis on understanding the ecology and natural history of the region. Throughout the course, students are exposed to how the extensive ecosystems of the West are managed by public and private groups and how human decisions change the landscape.
