A message from Wyoming Wildlife Federation

JACKSON, Wyo. – Jackson Hole is home to some of Wyoming’s most iconic wildlife, wild places, and sporting traditions. They are part of what makes this place, and Wyoming, special. But their future is not guaranteed.

Wildlife and habitat face growing pressure from fragmentation, drought, invasive species, wildlife disease, increasing demands on land and water, unmanaged recreation, and pressure on science-based management. Meeting those challenges will take practical solutions, strong partnerships, and people willing to stay engaged and do the work.

That’s where the Wyoming Wildlife Federation comes in.

We bring people together from across Wyoming to turn conservation into action. From the field to the Capitol, we conserve habitat, keep landscapes connected, defend public lands, and support science-based wildlife management.

Over the past year, WWF helped pass Senate Joint Resolution 0009, affirming Wyoming’s commitment to keeping public lands public. We helped secure the designation of eight migration segments for the Sublette pronghorn herd. And we’re deeply engaged in the Bridger-Teton National Forest plan revision, working for connected habitat, wildlife, and responsible access.

We’re also advancing practical grizzly bear management that keeps bears recovered while helping communities prevent conflict. We’re collaborating with partners to connect Wyoming’s hunting traditions with families who can use healthy wild game. And our summer camps are helping the next generation build their own connection to Wyoming’s wildlife and outdoor traditions.

Now Wyoming has another generational opportunity: to build on the conservation legacy hunters and anglers created and make a lasting investment in abundant wildlife, healthy habitat, and the outdoor traditions that define our state.

WWF is bringing sportsmen and women, wildlife professionals, landowners, business leaders, conservation partners, and decision-makers together to build a durable, Wyoming-made solution that carries our conservation legacy forward and keeps Wyoming’s wildlife and sporting traditions strong for generations to come.

That conversation comes to Jackson this September. Join us Tuesday, September 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Virginian Saloon for a Wyoming Wildlife Reception to connect with people from across Wyoming who are helping shape the next chapter of our state’s conservation legacy, ahead of the Legislature’s Travel, Recreation, Wildlife & Cultural Resources Committee meeting the following day.

And during Old Bill’s, please invest in the Wyoming Wildlife Federation and help us keep getting real work done for Wyoming’s wildlife and sporting heritage.

Jackson Hole wildlife. Statewide impact.
