Ucross, Wyoming, is a special place, a crossroads where divergent perspectives meet and creative thinking and action take root. Located at the westernmost edge of the Great Plains in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains, Ucross brings the past, present and future together as one. The setting is a 22,000-acre working cattle ranch with a rich legacy that reaches back more than 100 years.

In recent years, the Ucross Foundation has broadened its mission beyond the successful Artists in Residency Program to focus as well on preservation and enhancement of the area's unique heritage and natural resources. Entering the 21st century, the Ucross Foundation has set a dynamic goal for its historic rural landscape - to transform it into a living laboratory for conservation and the responsible stewardship of water resources, land and wildlife in the American West
