Wilson, WY – Ecologist George Wuerthner will be speaking at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7 pm. Wuerthner, who holds degrees in botany, wildlife, biology and range science and has written 33 books will speak about the impacts of fire on forests and wildlife, and discuss basic fire ecology, pine bark beetles, and the value of dead trees in a forest ecosystem.

The Forest Service will take public comments on the Teton to Snake Fuels Management project beginning in mid-February. At the event, the Wyoming Wilderness Association will provide the public with information on how to comment on the project.
