Author: Dan Stroud

Dan Stroud has a diverse background in wildlife management and rangeland ecology. A native of Wyoming, he grew up in the Big Horn Basin and got a degree in biology from the University of Wyoming. His career started in 1976 and his early years were spent working on timber inventories and wildlife-related assignments for the BLM.  After earning a Masters in Range Science, he joined the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in 1983 and spent 32 years with the agency, primarily as a habitat biologist.  Those projects ranged from wetland improvements to prescribed burning to benefit ungulates. Since retirement in 2014, Dan has been a tireless advocate for science-based management and conservation. A lover of Greater Yellowstone, especially the southern half of the ecosystem, he also has focused on keeping improving public lands and keeping them in public hands.
