Despite COVID-19 presenting many difficulties this summer fieldwork season, we managed to get a team out to the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming for July: Dr. William Flatley, Dr Pete Fule, Gabrielle Ayres (PhD Student), and Emma Sautter (Undergraduate Student).
We spent ~3 weeks collecting tree cores from different species at different elevations across the landscape. During our visit we were fortunate to meet and explore (taking the necessary C-19 precautions of course!) the forest with various folks familiar with the landscape, including the Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy and Wyoming State Forestry Division. The trip would not have been as successful without their help and we are very thankful to have worked with such an enthusiastic group of people. Now onto the lab work! We are excited to see what the trees of the Bighorns tell us and will keep you all posted!
