When you fall in love with Wyoming, it's often because of the wide open spaces we're known for. This episode highlights outdoor recreation in our state; the effects we have on the natural world, and how it affects us. I interview Dr. Abigail Sisneros-Kidd and we learn about the town of Wapiti. Then I talk about an animal of which Scott Weidensaul said, "Before the East was logged, tamed and farmed...it, too, was the home of a creature the color of wheat that the Shawnee called wapiti." Join me to learn more!
