The group of Cody High School students will use their Smithsonian award for a sage grouse conservation project with the Bureau of Land Management.
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Youth Advisory Board has received a grant from the Smithsonian Institution for a conservation project benefitting Cody and northwest Wyoming. The Smithsonian is the nation’s museum group in Washington D.C., and the world’s largest museum and research complex.
$500 was awarded to the youth advisory board as part of the Smithsonian’s National Earth Optimism Teen Conversations Project. This Smithsonian project was created to bring teens together from all parts of the country to learn about and discuss their concerns about the environment.
