Teton Splendor Field Trip Sept 27-29, 2024 with Jack Greene Photo Courtesy US NPS Two bull elk sparring
Witness the Tetons in their best fall dress where rampaging large ungulates (elk, bison, moose, etc.), release their fall passion with grunts, bugles, and a nasty disposition. Fall migrating birds along with winter residents will add to the fun. Several hikes combined with auto tours will be included, and a visit to the Teton Science School Murie Museum. RSVP by contacting Jack Greene: 435-764-4815 or jackisblue4960@yahoo.com
Signed waivers required for all participants. Complete form, print results and bring printed waiver to meeting point.
We will be camping at Gros Ventre campground, so bring your own food & gear, or partner with someone who has gear to share. Donate whatever is fair to the driver (unless you’re driving!).
Introducing the Utah Trails Forum Webinar Series:
Conservation, Recreation, and Trails
The Utah Trails Forum is excited to announce our next webinar series: Conservation, Recreation, and Trails. This three part series will look at the crucial junction between conserving healthy ecosystems and providing responsible recreation opportunities. Some of the questions we will discuss: Who are the important partners when pursing a trail project on or near sensitive habitat? What is a land trust and how do I work with them? What are the best practices for protecting wildlife and cultural resources? Where do trails simply not belong? The Utah Trails Forum webinars are planned as interactive, network-building sessions, so please bring your own questions and get excited for breakout discussions alongside the panel presentations. We hope you’ll join for all three sessions!
Session 1: Land
Wednesday, August 30th, 12pm-1pm
Session 2: Wildlife

Session 3: People

Listen to Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams interview Jennifer Ackerman, author of What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds
Jennifer Ackerman is an award-winning science writer and speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author of What an Owl Knows, The Bird Way, and The Genius of Birds.
My daughter, Victoria, and I are working on promoting the electrification of kitchens. We published the attached article, “Now we’re cooking with electromagnetism: Making induction stoves cool,” where we address the current “culture wars” over gas stoves by blending foodie culture with marketing perspectives to provide a preliminary blueprint on how to make induction stoves a desirable “cool” alternative to gas.
(online link to full article)
We’re now working with Utah Clean Energy, setting the groundwork for a potential outreach campaign to promote induction stoves in Utah, and we’re seeking Utah-based chefs and cooks who use induction and who may be willing to attest to the technology’s effectiveness over gas and possibly serve as spokespersons as the campaign gets underway in the media.
Please contact me at ed.stafford@usu.edu for any contacts or if you’d like more information.
Thanks!
