SGS-LTER
Visiting the SGS LTER Field Station
If you would like to visit our facility, please contact the Shortgrass Steppe LTER offices at Colorado State University (970.491.4996 or Sallie.Sprague@colostate.edu) to make arrangements for our site manager to meet you when you visit. We welcome your visit but must have your cooperation in following our visitor procedures. Changes in the Homeland Security rules for federal properties, our need to document educational and outreach activities at our field station and, construction of new facilities dictate that we keep our site headquarters locked. We ask that you contact us at least SEVEN days in advance of your visit so that we can arrange a host for your visit and notify the USDA Agricultural Research Service Central Plains Experimental Range headquarters that an additional vehicle will be on site. Our response to you will confirm your reservation. Please do not assume that leaving a message guarantees your reservation for a given date. Please be aware that those arriving unannounced at the SGS LTER Headquarters may be asked to leave. These new procedures apply to casual visits, classes from CSU or area schools, or groups from local agencies and non-profit organizations.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
