Item Soil Health Workshop(2025-09-25)This interactive lesson introduces students to the concept of soil health and how soil helps ecosystems respond to threats like drought. Students will learn the basics of soil health, go outside to collect soil samples, then test those soils for different properties that relate to soil health. This lesson works best for 8-20 students, grades 6-12, and a 1-1.5 hour class period, though can be adapted for different age groups and time constraints. If there is no outdoor access, instructors can bring in bags of soil for distribution, or students can bring soil samples collected from home.Item Proceedings: Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-05-01)The Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Summit (WORS) supports Wyoming’s 2nd-biggest industry–tourism–through one of its biggest drivers: outdoor recreation.
