The Natural Resources Department is offering this grant to enhance public understanding and engagement in crucial natural resource topics through effective science communication. This project supports the creation and promotion of communication products that distill complex technical information into easily digestible formats for public consumption via various channels. Key areas include white-nose syndrome in bats, invasive species, and air quality, topics broadly relevant to public lands and conservation. This initiative aims to provide significant public benefit by improving accessibility to vital environmental knowledge. Additionally, it fosters a valuable partnership with Colorado State University, offering students practical opportunities to produce science stories, collaborate with professionals, and build their portfolios in science communication.
