We're excited to see Brian Nesvik confirmed with bipartisan support as Director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
We have a long history of doing good work during Brian's tenure as director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and we know he'll bring his collaboration and leadership skills to this new role. We thank our senators for their help in ushering him in and look forward to working with him on Wyoming's wildlife at the national level.
"Over the years I have known Brian I have seen him lead with a level head, and a north star on long term solutions for the benefit of wildlife and people alike. I am excited to see him bring these same skills to a national level and congratulate him on his confirmation." -Jess Johnson, WWF Government Affairs Director
