As you’re headed out to parks to speak up for public lands, let’s keep safety in mind!

- Plan ahead with designated routes & meeting points
- Check the weather and prepare accordingly
- Know how to reach local EMS support
- Let someone know where you’ll be and when to expect you back

With a student population now nearing 33,000, Weber State is the third largest of the eight public colleges in the state. But it is one of only two that doesn’t have an off-campus station for hands-on, in-the-field research. That’s about to change.
This Utah university plans to open its first-ever field station at Yellowstone National Park
Within the gates of Yellowstone National Park, Utah students will have access to an entire ecosystem as a classroom when Weber State University builds out its plans for a field station there.

Today is National Day of the Horse. Did you know mosquito-borne diseases affect them, too? WNV, WEE, & EEE can cause sickness or even death in horses. The good news: there are vaccines against these for horses! Take preventive measures to help out our equine friends. #mosquitoes #horses #wnv
