Welcome to the official Web site of the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation. |

The Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation is one of 13
state and provincial chapters of the
Wild Sheep Foundation, whose purpose
is "to promote and enhance increasing
populations of indigenous wild sheep
on the North American continent, to
safeguard against the decline or extinction
of such species, and to fund programs
for professional management of these
populations, keeping all administrative
costs to a minimum." In recent years,
efforts of the Foundation and its state
chapters and affiliate organizations have
expanded beyond the needs of wild sheep
to include all wildlife, its habitat, and
support of sportsmen's rights.

Wyoming WSF was formed in 1983
and has a long record of actively working
for Wyoming's bighorn sheep, other
wildlife, education, and hunter's rights.

Led by an all volunteer
board of directors,
Wyoming WSF annually raises thousands
of dollars through the energy and efforts
of conservation-minded sportsmen and
women throughout Wyoming.
During the
past 24 years, Wyoming WSF has funded
$744,478 in research, management, and
education efforts to benefit Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep in the Cowboy State. Since
1983, the national WSF organization
has provided over $820,000 in grant-in aid
funds for bighorn sheep projects in
Wyoming, and thousands more in "multistate"
projects.
Working cooperatively with local, state,
and federal agencies, Wyoming's school
systems and the University of Wyoming,
and other conservation organizations, the
dedicated members of Wyoming WSF have
been a catalyst in ensuring the health and
status of mountain sheep in Wyoming.

Wyoming WSF holds two general
membership meetings every year, in
early June and early December. Meeting
locations periodically rotate around the
state, to encourage participation and
attendance by the membership. Members
receive two semi-annual newsletters,
periodic mailings, and an opportunity to
really make a difference for Wyoming's
bighorn sheep.
