Outdoor opportunities would mean nothing without clean water and intact landscapes. Our vision is a Wyoming with clean water and healthy habitat to help support the wildlife and fish species that depend on them. We work for policy and management initiatives that benefit the species, habitats, and people of Wyoming through protecting the land and water resources that are the foundations to healthy wildlife populations and a strong, sustainable economy.
The Federation has doubled down on landscape connectivity by putting boots on the ground directly to benefit wildlife. This work includes fence pulls and modifications, beaver dam analog projects, feral horse exclosures, fishing access area improvements, and much more.
The Wyoming Wildlife Federation is looking for suggested projects to improve habitat for wildlife and our members along the eastern half of Wyoming, as well. If you or someone you know has an idea for a project, please contact the Wyoming Wildlife Federation at info@wyomingwildlife.org
Upcoming Habitat Projects
Fremont County Fence Removal Project - Shoshone National Forest
July 19, 2025 | Shoshone National Forest → East Fork, Wind River
This is the 15th year of our Fremont County Fence Removal Project! This year, we’ll be removing a high elevation, obsolete barbed wire fence. The Wayne's Creek fence is on the Shoshone National Forest in Fremont County. Our goal is to aid big game ungulates in their ability to migrate, and move freely and safely through the contiguous vegetation. As we have seen in our previous wildlife habitat fence removal projects, portions of these barbed wire fences are buried in the bushes and cannot be seen. Elk, mule deer, moose, bear, antelope, and other animals can be injured or die while passing through these downed, obsolete fence areas simply because their legs get caught in the barbs and the wire.
Partners: Bowhunters of Wyoming, Red Canyon Chapter of RMEF, and Shoshone National Forest
Green River Access Project | IN PROGRESS
Since access is currently limited to a few points of entry, fishermen and guide services congest and heavily impact the area, leading to waste pollution due to a lack of outhouses, soil erosion from boats and vehicles, dense human presence that drives wildlife away from the area, and acute over-fishing. Improving access in these areas is good for the fishery and riparian area that’s so important in this part of Wyoming.
