Participants will have a chance to hear about research projects during field tours and peruse scientific posters at lunch. Registration opens at 8 am with field tours beginning at 8:30. Lunch will be served at noon. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP by contacting the Sheridan R&E Center at shrec@uwyo.edu or (307) 673-2856 no later than Tuesday, August 13.
