The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is taking measures to protect the state’s wildlife and habitats amid drought conditions. The department has released guidelines for the public to play a vital role in these stewardship efforts.
Stewardship Efforts
Some of the ways the public can help include being fire mindful, adhering to closures, staying on trails and roads, protecting aquatic health, and securing all attractants. Additionally, the public can volunteer for local efforts such as fence pulls or habitat restoration projects.
Other ways to help include respecting wildlife space, keeping gates open, and choosing water-efficient car washes. The department also encourages the public to thank private landowners and agricultural producers for providing essential refuge habitat and water sources for wildlife.
For more information, the public can visit the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s website or reach out to their local regional office.
