The 2013 High Altitude Revegetation Field Tour will be held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mining and Reclamation (ASMR). The summer field tour will visit the Wamsutter Gas Field 8:00 am – 5:30 pm, Tuesday, June 4, 2013. In a break from HAR tradition, there will be a registration fee to cover the cost of bus transportation for the field tour. Register for the field tour ($40, lunch included), the full conference ($325) or a single day of the conference ($125) at the ASMR web site: http://www.asmr.us/Meetings/UpcomingMeetings.htm, where you can also view the program for the entire ASMR conference. The tour is organized and executed by ASMR with financial support from HAR and other sponsors.

 

The Wamsutter Field is a semi-arid sagebrush steppe environment receiving 20 cm of annual precipitation located in the Red Desert of south central Wyoming. It is currently the largest on-shore natural gas field in North America. Several major energy companies are producing natural gas in the Wamsutter Field and are responsible for reclaiming thousands of well pads and thousands of miles of access roads. We will have several reclamation experts with broad experience working in the Wamsutter Field as guides on this trip.
