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 - Torrey Rim
Saturday - July 19, 2025
We’re pulling some barbed-wire fence above Torrey Rim to benefit the Whiskey Mountain herd and would love some help! It’s a relatively small project (1/3 mile of fence) but occurs in crucial winter range and will benefit the herd. Please note - you must register to join so we can get a proper count of folks and distribute more information to you via e-mail.
What
~1/3 mile of old barb wire just above Torrey Rim on the Shoshone National Forest in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness.
Where
Meet at Bighorn Sheep Center in Dubois @ 09:00 (10 Bighorn Ln, Dubois, WY 82513)
Who
Looking for max 20 volunteers - please register below if you would like to join!
What to bring
Sturdy footwear, long pants/shirt, eye protection, work gloves, sunscreen, food, and plenty of water.
Note that access to Torrey Rim requires high clearance 4WD or UTVs to drive up a steep, rocky road. Forest Service will have space for up to 8 folks who need a ride. Getting to the fence requires a short, but steep hike. Some fence sections are on relatively flat ground, but some are in steep terrain that will require a small crew of sturdy
Partners: Bowhunters of Wyoming, Red Canyon Chapter of RMEF, and Shoshone National Forest
Strawberry Meadow Zeedyk Project
September 5 + 6 | Atlantic City, WY
In partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, we are conducting a habitat project on Strawberry Meadow, a drainage of Strawberry Creek, east of Atlantic City. We'll be building Zeedyk structures to help reduce erosion, keep water on the landscape longer, and enhance the foraging for wildlife. Volunteers will be helping to move rocks and build structures!
Bitterbrush Seed Planting
October 28, 2025 | Fremont County
Location: Meet at BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main St., Lander WY. We will caravan to the field site approximately 20 minutes away on 4wd roads.
Time: 8:00 am - noon
What to Bring: Gloves, sturdy boots, water, snacks, sun protection
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.
Sagebrush Planting
October 2025 | Gas Hills; Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Land
More information to come soon!
