Willow Bend’s Biodiversity Bootcamp: Yellowstone! will connect Flagstaff’s unique ecosystem to one of America’s premiere natural areas: Yellowstone National Park.

Bootcamp then continues in Yellowstone, based at Old Faithful, with workshops that extend the experience beyond the Colorado Plateau. The drive from Flagstaff to Yellowstone will also be a learning experience with multiple field stops and opportunities to see the changing ecosystems along the way. In addition to two Willow Bend staff and multiple agency representatives, Bootcamp: Yellowstone! will be led by USGS geologist Dr. Greg Vaughan.
