The Foundation had a tremendously successful final trip of the year to Nevada for our Winter Western Policy Roundtable and Public Lands Forum.

In addition to three robust policy roundtables, attendees joined in an autonomous vehicle and technology demonstration as well as a behind the scenes tours of the National Finals Rodeo and the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.
