What's New

This website is a companion to the second edition of Mountains and Plains: The Ecology of Wyoming Landscapes (Yale University Press, October 2014).  It provides a means by which readers can share information and ask questions.  So bring your field observations or the results of new research to our attention, send photos or website addresses that are helpful to you, and tell us about omissions or errors that we may have made.  As with the book, our goal is to provide a mid-level synthesis that is pertinent to the enjoyment and management of landscapes in the region.
