Sheridan Community Land Trust and Tongue River Valley Community Center in Dayton will present Explore History: Wyoming Ag Experiment Station in Sheridan County – 100+ Years of Helping Neighbors.
According to SCLT, the University of Wyoming’s Sheridan Research and Extension Center has been actively engaged in agricultural research in northeast Wyoming for more than 100 years.
Director Brian Mealor will discuss why this is an important institution in Sheridan County. He will discuss the founding and historic activities on the ‘experiment farm,’ highlight how some of the early work is in alignment with current agriculture and natural resources research today and the beginning partnerships with local stakeholders.
While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Director of Marketing & Development for the Sheridan Community Land Trust Chris Vrba elaborated on the vital role the extension plays in the lives of Wyoming’s residents everyday.
