We are proud to be dedicating our ethnobotany garden at Sinks Canyon State Park! This project started out as a service project for a NOLS course, we had other volunteers help along the way, our Trails office came with a big lift, and Wyoming Humanities gave the last big push with a $5,700 grant to print cultural brochures, signage, and consult experts. Thank you to the Eastern Shoshone Cultural Center for helping us throughout this project.
Please join us on Wednesday June 25th at 6:00 for the dedication outside the visitor center.
