What has WWF Done Lately?

We are focused on providing real, tangible solutions to conservation issues in Wyoming. Our programs are designed to address Wyoming issues through Wyoming involvement and funding from local dollars.

SPORTSPEOPLE AT THE CAPITOL

The 2024 Camo at the Capitol event brought hunters, anglers, and trappers around Wyoming to the State Capitol to advocate on legislation for conserving Wyoming's wildlife, habitat, and outdoor opportunities.

Youth Campers Taught Across Wyoming in 2023

Class Outside is a program for youth that provides opportunities to explore and build skills during summer day camps. Whether learning to play in nature at young ages, or developing survival skills as pre-teens, these camps build the future of conservation-minded outdoorspeople.

Pages of the Rock Springs RMP Analyzed

The Federation's staff went through every line of the Rock Springs RMP draft in the fall of 2023, while also engaging in all meetings with the stakeholders on the Governor's Task Force on the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan.

Habitat & Access Projects Done Since 2020

These are true “boots on the ground” projects that make a difference. They include volunteer-powered fence removal days, brush planting for mule deer, 60+ beaver dam analogs near Little Mountain, and contracted projects to improve habitat around Wyoming.

Tackle Key Conservation Issues

For 86 years, the Wyoming Wildlife Federation has been the voice for sportsmen and women of Wyoming – advocating on your behalf for the healthy, intact, and fully functioning ecosystems – providing outdoor opportunities and finding common ground through hard-hitting initiatives and campaigns. Wyoming Wildlife Federation’s mission is to deliver leadership in conservation for Wyoming’s wildlife, hunters, anglers, & conservationists. Driven by this community’s love and passion for all things Wyoming, WWF is a conduit for conservation stewards, like yourself, who are actively engaged in protecting your wild heritage through policy, advocacy, and local engagement.

Our vision is a Wyoming with clean water and healthy habitat to help support the wildlife and fish species that depend on them.

Bringing hunters and anglers together and building an effective and informed advocacy voice is the mission for the Camo at the Capitol program.

Intact and expansive ungulate migrations are unique to Wyoming and the continuation of these animal movements relies on the conservation of key corridors in specific regions of the state.

Our History

Wyoming's Oldest Wildlife Conservation Organization

Founded in 1937, the Wyoming Wildlife Federation was initially tasked with educating the public on the need for game laws and to help the relatively young Wyoming Game and Fish Department become a larger, independent agency. In the decades since, WWF has been instrumental in furthering public education, shaping management policies, and developing programs that address conservation issues. Today, we pride ourselves on being the oldest and largest hunting and angling conservation organization in the state, with a growing voice directed towards cultivating positive, lasting outcomes for wildlife, wildlands, and our outdoor heritage.

Our Organization

We Fight For Wildlife, Habitat, and Hunting & Angling Opportunities

We are the hunting and angling voice for conservation in Wyoming. Our staff and members are passionate about issues affecting wildlife, habitat, and our outdoor heritage. We advocate on behalf of our members and encourage a community of conservation stewards to fight for our cherished resources. Through policy, advocacy, and local engagement, the Wyoming Wildlife Federation is a service to Wyoming’s outdoor legacy.

Programs that Make a Difference

Wyoming faces complex conservation challenges and Wyoming Wildlife Federation has put together a diverse set of programs to address them.

We aim to build and sustain a network of local conservation advocates and affiliated groups/clubs, that are active in regional conservation issues and projects.

The BLM Rock Springs Field Office is currently revising its Rock Springs Resource Management Plan, which has implications for wildlife and sportsmen for many years to come.

Intact and expansive ungulate migrations are unique to Wyoming and the continuation of these animal movements relies on the conservation of key corridors in specific regions of the state.
