High Plains Research Station and Arboretum-historic site.
HB 84 designates the High Plains Research Station and Arboretum in Laramie County as a state historic site managed by Wyoming's Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. The bill requires the department to create a strategic master plan for preserving and operating the site within one year, including potential partnerships with local governments or entities. It also authorizes the department to charge higher admission fees specifically to fund site preservation, operations, and maintenance, with annual reports on these revenues. This procedural bill affects the site's management structure and funding mechanism but does not alter land ownership or create new services.
