The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region awarded a $345,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission to support the Bighorn Mountains Beaver, Riparian and Aspen Restoration and Monitoring project. The funding is provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Prescribed Fire/Fire Recovery program (CFDA 10.716), which was established to address natural resources-related infrastructure, wildfire management and ecosystem restoration. Under this agreement, the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission will deliver services related to wildlife, habitat, and land management in the state, such as sage-grouse monitoring, wildlife disease surveillance, aquatic invasive species prevention, habitat restoration, and conservation efforts for species like grizzly bears and black-footed ferrets. The project will be completed by August 15, 2028.
