WyoTech, a technical trade school located in Laramie, Wyoming, donated staff, student labor, and heavy equipment to complete an emergency replacement of a critical water culvert that was limiting Sand Creek flows just outside the Wyoming Toad Conservation Area boundary. This temporary repair restored essential water delivery to the wetlands, and Ducks Unlimited, using North American Wetlands Conservation Act funding, will install a permanent long-term fix in fall 2026.
