Are you a Habitat Hero?

Habitat Heroes are people who practice a form of landscape stewardship, called ‘wildscaping’ - landscaping designed to attract and benefit birds, pollinators and other wildlife. Whether the landscape you tend is a residential yard, a few pots on a balcony, a public park, or schoolyard garden, Habitat Heroes believe in growing a healthy community. By combating the loss of open spaces and creating green corridors that link your wildscape to larger natural areas by providing habitat for wildlife we can feel good about doing something positive for ourselves, the environment and our wild friends.

Take part in the Audubon Rockies Habitat Hero program to provide resources for birds and other wildlife!

The Sagebrush Sea

In conjunction with the Ruckelshaus Institute, the Biodiversity Institute, Audubon Rockies, and the Wyoming Outdoor Council we are pleased to present a free screening of The Sagebrush Sea this Wednesday, August 12. The Sagebrush Sea is a documentary produced by biologists and filmmakers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology which explores life in the sage desert from the perspective of a Greater Sage-Grouse. The screening will be held in the Berry Center auditorium. Doors will open at 5 pm and the film begins at 6 pm. 

A panel discussion moderated by Willow Belden, host of Out There: A Podcast about the Outdoors, will follow the film. Panelists include Marc Dantzker, producer of The Sagebrush Sea; and Wyoming Sage-Grouse experts Brian Rutledge and Matt Holloran.

Enjoy light food an beverages while learning even more about Wyoming’s sagebrush ecosystems via displays and material provided by the Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Natural Resources, the Biodiversity Institute, the Wyoming Outdoor Council, Laramie Audubon Society, Audubon Rockies, The Nature Conservancy, Medicine Bow Conservation District, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, NRCS’ Sage Grouse Initiative, and the Wyoming Game & Fish Department.
