About Wyoming Wildlife Federation
For nearly 90 years, Wyoming Wildlife Federation has worked to conserve Wyoming’s wildlife, lands, and outdoor traditions. The organization brings together hunters, anglers, landowners, conservationists, and communities to advance science-based wildlife management, practical stewardship, and responsible public policy rooted in Wyoming values.

Wyoming Wildlife Federation is a statewide organization with a small, collaborative staff and a strong emphasis on clear communication, credibility, and relationship-building. Our work is grounded in Wyoming’s sporting heritage and focused on protecting the fish, wildlife, and places that define our way of life.
