  • WPLI Resolution
    Matters from Staff Agenda Item # 17 Board of County Commissioners ‐ Staff Report Meeting Date: 11/13/2018 Presenter: Alyssa Watkins Submitting Dept: Administration Subject: Consideration of Approval of WPLI Resolution Statement / Purpose: Consideration of a resolution proclaiming conservation principles for US Forest Service Lands in Teton County as a final recommendation of the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) process. Background / Description (Pros & Cons): In 2015, the Wyoming County Commissioners Association (WCCA) established the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) to develop a proposed management recommendation for the Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming, and where possible, pursue other public land management issues and opportunities affecting Wyoming’s landscape. In 2016, Teton County elected to participate in the WPLI process and appointed a 21‐person Advisory Committee to consider the Shoal Creek and Palisades WSAs. Committee meetings were facilitated by the Ruckelshaus Institute (a division of the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources). Ultimately the Committee submitted a number of proposals, at varying times, to the BCC for consideration. Although none of the formal proposals submitted by the Teton County WPLI Committee were advanced by the Board of County Commissioners, the Board did formally move to recognize the common ground established in each of the Committee’s original three proposals as presented on August 20, 2018. The related motion stated that the Board chose to recognize as a resolution or as part of its WPLI recommendation, that all members of the WPLI advisory committee unanimously agree that within the Teton County public lands, protection of wildlife is a priority and that there would be no new roads, no new timber harvest except where necessary to support healthy forest initiatives, no new mineral extraction excepting gravel, no oil and gas exploration or development.

  • Wyhuntfishmentoring Camp
    # WYHUNTFISH Mentoring Camp September 9 - 12, 2020 In partnership with the Safari Club International Foundation and the First Hunt Foundation, the Wyoming Game & Fish Department is hosting the 2020 #WYHUNTFISH Mentoring Camp with sponsorship from the Wyoming Outdoorsmen. This camp is a workshop for avid hunters interested in sharing their passion for hunting with others, increasing their mentoring skills and gaining a better understanding of the challenges of new hunters. The camp is designed for mentors of all experience levels, no previous mentoring experience is required. This camp is free to attend. Although there is no cost to the mentors, a $100 deposit is required to hold your spot after the invitation has been extended. That check is required to be postmarked within a week after notification, and will be returned before you depart from camp. The hosts and sponsors are making a significant investment in mentoring, and your participation is valued. The #WYHUNTFISH Mentoring Camp is hosted in conjunction with the Beyond B.O.W. — Hunting workshop for women learning to hunt. There is some overlap in curriculum and facilitated discussions with the hopes that mentors will share their experiences and knowledge with the hunters. Special mentors-only sessions on best practices and techniques for mentoring include Mentoring Strategies, Adult Learning Styles and Social Media and Photography. You will get mentoring experience, guiding a new hunter from the Beyond B.O.W. workshop on a simulated hunt with live fire. There will also be opportunity to learn more advanced and/or specialized skills like using the WGFD Hunt Planner, and, mentoring an actual antelope hunt with a novice hunter.

    Wyoming Game and Fish Department Jackson Region September 2017 Newsletter Eclipse Mania With both the Jackson and Pinedale re- gions in the path of totality for the August 21 solar eclipse, nearly all Game and Fish personnel were out welcoming visitors, answering questions and helping them avoid problems with bears, fires and other regulations. The Department tallied over 7,000 public contacts across the state, reporting a low number of violations, no human-large carnivore conflicts and no damage to Game and Fish properties. Employees also worked to keep the in- creased number of boaters safe and keep aquatic invasive species out of Wyoming’s waters. Another task for Game and Fish personnel was patrolling wilderness areas and assisting federal, state, county and local agencies. By all accounts it was a most memorable event for all! Jackson Region Monthly Newsletter September 2017 High Country Sheep Survey Jackson Game Warden Jon Stephens and Jackson Wildlife Biologist Aly Courtemanch spent several days surveying bighorn sheep in the Gros Ventre Wilderness in Hunt Area 7 prior to the Sept. 1 hunt season opener.

The 10-Year Wilderness Stewardship Challenge was developed by the Chief’s Wilderness Advisory Group (WAG) as a quantifiable measurement of the Forest Service’s success in wilderness stewardship. The goal identified by the Wilderness Advisory Group, and endorsed by the Chief, is to bring each wilderness under Forest Service management to a minimum stewardship level by the year 2014, the fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The Challenge was initiated in fiscal year 2005. The Challenge contains ten items that highlight elements of wilderness stewardship. These elements are 1) the natural role of fire, 2) invasive plants, 3) air quality, 4) education, 5) protection of recreational opportunities, 6) recreational site inventory, 7) outfitters
