Its first meeting is later this month in Rock Springs.

This past winter was the first in 37 years that elk and bison didn't require supplemental feeding on the refuge.

The UW initiative aims to conserve migrations by doing research, while also developing new tools and methodologies that allow land managers to identify important corridors.

Remote cameras supplement data from collars that transmit global-positioning signals.

Most of the swans live in the Canadian taiga during the summer and typically arrive in Wyoming in late October.

Early season hunting there already exists but is open now only to people holding limited-quota licenses acquired through a draw.
