Welcome Bonnie to the COG Board!

A bit about Bonnie:

Bonnie moved to Laramie in 2024 to begin teaching in the University of Wyoming's Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management Program. Prior to landing here, she spent many years leading wilderness expeditions around the West with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). She's thrilled to still be educating others about the outdoors and contributing to the stewardship of these landscapes. In her free time, Bonnie gets out on the trails as much as possible with her significant other and adventurous pup.

COG can’t wait to start our work with Bonnie as we are planning for our 2026 field season!

Welcome Clare to the COG Board!

Clare found COG through her work at UW’s Science and Math Teaching Center and their partnership with our Fall 2025 Outdoor School. Clare is a science educator with a background in outdoor and place-based education. With experience learning and educating on trails, lakes, skis, and the occasional river, Clare loves southeast Wyoming for all of the ways its landscapes invite people to connect with their place.

We are excited to have Clare joining us to continue our work on public lands in 2026!
