Span of collaboration develops new sign at BGNA

News – Sheridan Media

A new sign at the Big Goose Natural Area (BGNA) now helps visitors better understand the size and scope of local bird species, thanks to a community collaboration led by the Sheridan Community Land Trust (SCLT).

Marketing and Development Contractor Chris Vrba said the sign displays the actual wingspans of various birds found in the natural area.

The project was made possible through partnerships with Tim Koenig, Ashley Cooper, Phorge Makerspace, Heritage Woodwork, Imperial Powder Coating, and 10 young artists from the Sheridan County YMCA’s Make Your Mark Art Camp.

The contributing artists include Anwynn Fack, Delilah Cassiday, Finley Demple, Hannah Harlan, Jacob Heid, Kadence Gulley, Kelsey Smothers, Levi Koltiska, Remington Brown, and Rylee Hart.

The sign is now on display at BGNA, offering a unique educational feature that highlights the scale of the area’s birdlife while showcasing the impact of community collaboration.
