Washakie County Conservation: Who We Are and What We Do, and Current News and Events
Washakie County Conservation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the natural resources of Washakie County, Wyoming. Our mission is to promote sustainable land use practices, protect wildlife habitats, and conserve water resources for future generations.
Who We Are
Washakie County Conservation was founded in 1972 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need for conservation efforts in their community. Since then, we have grown into a respected organization that works closely with local government agencies, businesses, and individuals to promote environmental stewardship.
Our team consists of experienced professionals who are passionate about conservation. From biologists to engineers to educators, we bring diverse skills and expertise to our work. Together, we strive to make Washakie County a better place for people and wildlife alike.
What We Do
At Washakie County Conservation, we believe that conservation is not just about protecting the environment – it's also about supporting local communities. That's why our programs focus on both environmental sustainability and economic development.
One of our key initiatives is promoting sustainable agriculture practices. Through partnerships with local farmers and ranchers, we help them implement techniques that reduce soil erosion, conserve water resources, and improve crop yields. This not only benefits the environment but also supports the local economy by ensuring a stable food supply.
We also work on habitat restoration projects aimed at protecting endangered species such as sage grouse or pronghorn antelope while improving grazing lands for livestock producers in Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin region where Washakie county lies within its boundaries.
In addition to these programs focused on land use practices in rural areas of Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin region where Washakie county lies within its boundaries., we also offer educational opportunities for students of all ages through workshops or field trips designed around topics like ecology or geology which are relevant to the region.
