During 2013 and 2014, the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute and Colorado Art Ranch will pair artists with wildland research scientists for one-month collaborations in six very diverse Wilderness Areas. The artists will assist the scientists in collecting data and will gain firsthand knowledge of the wonders, complexities and challenges of our nation's wildest places. The result will be a body of work that creatively illustrates the value of wild areas and honors the scientific efforts to preserve wilderness for the next fifty years. Selected Biomes Information about the sites may be found at Wilderness.net. We will be providing project specific information as it becomes available.
