Description
The Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition grants, administered through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and coalition partners, support wildlife conservation projects in five funding areas: elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, moose, and all wildlife. Supported work includes habitat enhancement and restoration, land protection, research, population management, monitoring, and conservation education.
Each committee has its own priorities. Projects may address migration routes, hunting access for elk management, disease and separation from domestic sheep and goats, or barriers to wildlife movement. The coalition emphasizes clear conservation benefits and strong partnerships; the all wildlife committee also considers projects benefiting fish and wildlife species beyond the four named big game species.
