The hour–long presentation, which will be held at the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center at 532 N. Cache Street in Jackson, will be led by Nongame Biologist Susan Patla from the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. Patla has been responsible for the management and monitoring of wild trumpeter swans in Wyoming since 1999. She also served as the chairperson of the Greater Yellowstone Trumpeter Swan Working Group for 10 years. During her presentation, Patla will describe her work to manage and improve swan habitat and talk about swan distribution in the state. “Trumpeter swans are one of Wyoming’s rarest and most magnificent resident birds,” Patla said. “The National Elk Refuge is one of the best locations in the state to observe them throughout the year.” Patla will also discuss new grant projects that create wetlands for nesting swans on private land in partnership with landowners. Patla’s presentation is open to the public and free of charge. Participants may bring a lunch to enjoy during the noon hour talk; light refreshments will be served.
