Today, it's an encounter with WSU forestry students learning to fight wildfire. Tomorrow, it might be a photo session with cheesemakers at the WSU Creamery or a field-day trip through experimental meadows at the university’s new Perennial Grass Breeding and Ecology Farm. For communicator and WSU alumnus Seth Truscott, the many facets of CAHNRS ensure that no two days are alike. A newspaper journalist and editor in a prior incarnation, he has brought the community and identity of the college to light through reports, blog posts, press releases, images, and other media since 2015.
