Wyoming Projects
Wyoming Healthy Lands Initiative Project The Healthy Lands Initiative (HLI) represents a new concept for meeting emerging challenges in managing natural resources with flexible, landscape-level approaches for continued multiple use.The Initiative is characterized by the broad scale of the acreage it will seek to restore and conserve, and the accelerated pace at which results are expected.

At that time, we were just attendees and had little idea about what took place behind the scenes. After moving to Gillette, Wyo., in late 2006, we were surprised to learn that there was no active chapter in the area, despite being in the midst of prime mule deer country. Sealed with the fate of an e-mail to MDF, we were put in contact with Regional Director Brandon Mason. I'd like to say the rest was history, but it was only the beginning. Apprehensive to tackle the chairman position due to other obligations and a young family, my husband Dan and I hoped that someone would step forward to start a chapter at the first meeting in December 2007. When no one did, it was a pivotal moment for us to either jump in or let Gillette remain without a chapter.
