Get your feet wet with Wyoming Water at our annual summer tour! Each summer, we partner with organizations around the state to provide our members with unique, hands-on opportunities to learn about and tour water projects and sites in Wyoming.
This year we headed to the Upper Green River Basin and gathered in Pinedale, WY to tour local projects. The tour featured excellent speakers covering relevant topics, great conversation, and inside access to innovative water and conservation projects. Thank you to tour sponsors,
TriHydro and
Strike Consulting Group. Tour could not have been possible without the coordination from the
Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts, the cooperation of our tour hosts and speakers and the tour committee: Andy Strike, Derrick Thompson, Holly Kennedy, Jerry Dart, Justin Caudill, Leslie Steen, Phil Stump. Liberty Blain Sydney Baker and Triston Rice.
