Wyoming Association Of Conservation Districts

The Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2001, focusing on conservation and environmental management across Wyoming. As a critical intermediary between federal agencies, local conservation districts, and landowners, the organization provides technical assistance and facilitates cooperative habitat restoration and conservation projects. Its primary role involves working with multiple federal agencies to support conservation efforts, technical assessments, and collaborative environmental initiatives across Wyoming's diverse landscapes.

Through its federal grant awards, the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts has consistently engaged in comprehensive conservation and habitat improvement projects primarily with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Resources Conservation Service. The organization's grant work includes technical assistance for programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Regional Conservation Partnership Program, and Emergency Watershed Program. Specific project focuses include habitat restoration in sage-steppe ecosystems, big game migration corridors, wet meadow complexes, and riparian areas. These projects involve initiating landowner agreements, conducting watershed assessments, and implementing on-the-ground habitat enhancement and protection efforts. The grants typically span multiple years, with recent awards ranging from 2021 to 2030, and involve collaborative work with local conservation districts, private landowners, and tribal entities. The organization's grants aim to restore ecological functions, support endangered species habitats, and contribute to broader conservation objectives outlined in regional strategic plans.
