SCLT Explore History Program to Feature Big Horn National Forest

On April 11, 2023, from 10:30 to 12 p.m., the SCLT Explore History Program at the Hub on Smith will feature the Big Horn National Forest.

According to the information on the SCLT website, The Bighorn National Forest Historical Collection contains historical documents and photographs which provide insight into how the Bighorn National Forest has been used and managed over the decades.
