From July 7 through July 18, State of the Rockies student researchers traveled throughout Montana and Wyoming to assess both wildlife management and its intersection with energy development. Student researchers backpacked in the Shoshone National Forest, toured natural gas rigs in Pinedale, WY, floated a section of the Snake River, and conferred with regional wildlife and energy experts. Student researchers will embark on a second field trip to New Mexico on August 4, after completing two more weeks of research for the 2009 State of the Rockies Report Card.
