Little Snake River Conservation District

Little Snake River Conservation District is a local government entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Baggs, Wyoming, with a primary focus on environmental conservation and land management services. Established prior to 2004, the organization works closely with federal agencies to support agricultural, wildlife, and ecosystem preservation efforts in the Wyoming region. As a U.S. local government-owned entity, the district specializes in providing technical assistance, environmental restoration, and conservation program implementation across public and private lands.

The district has received multiple federal grant awards from agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Department of Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and Wyoming Region BLM, addressing critical environmental initiatives. These grants have supported projects such as sagebrush ecosystem restoration, wetlands rehabilitation, hazardous fuels management, and wildlife habitat enhancement. Specific grant-funded activities include chemical and mechanical treatments of approximately 3,500 acres for sage grouse habitat improvement, managing vegetative fuels on Bureau of Land Management lands, and implementing wetlands restoration in the Muddy Creek area. The district has also collaborated with the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission through sub-grant awards focusing on big game habitat enhancement and conservation efforts. Their most recent significant award is a $123,900 cooperative agreement from NRCS, running from 2025 to 2029, which will provide engineering and conservation technical assistance for implementing USDA Farm Bill programs.
