Faith-based groups are holding events to celebrate the unique landscapes in the region

This week, it’s all about the Red Desert around Wyoming. Faith-based groups are holding events to celebrate the unique landscapes in the region, as well as to explain why the area is considered sacred. Tyler Edgar with the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice program is visiting Laramie to share stories about how faith communities around the country have taken action as stewards of public lands.







Edgar says as she tours the country, one of the stories she details is the history of the Wyoming Range Legacy Act – which was a rallying point for diverse communities and religions...







Presentations throughout the week will go beyond the religious aspects of conservation, with lectures about the biodiversity of the Red Desert, its values for energy production, and art inspired by the region. (Edgar is speaking Thursday in Laramie)
