Living the outdoor lifestyle is one of the major attractions of Wyoming for residents. Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, wildlife, and sightseeing bring millions of people to visit each year. Conservation plays a significant role in keeping those options available for everyone, and it takes many people working together to make that happen.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department relies on those who are passionate about conserving the Wyoming way of life, and there are always those who go above and beyond. That’s why WGFD is now taking nominations for the 2026 class of the Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame honors individuals who have made significant and lasting lifetime contributions to the conservation of Wyoming’s outdoor heritage. Since 2004, it has recognized individuals who have worked consistently over many years to conserve Wyoming’s natural resources through volunteer service, environmental restoration, educational activities, audio/visual and written media, the arts and political and individual leadership.

Historic names like President Theodore Roosevelt, Curt Gowdy, James H. “Jim” Bridger, and Buffalo Bill Cody are among the names who have been etched into Wyoming history by being inducted into the Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame.

Could your name be next to those? Absolutely, if you meet the criteria.

The following represents standards for induction into the Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame. The Selection Committee shall use these standards as a written guide in making inductee selections. but shall not be limited to only these standards:

• Whether the nominee’s contribution was of such a nature as to have statewide, inter-state or national significance;
• Whether the nominee’s contribution affected a wide range of natural resources and their
  use;
• Whether the nominee’s contributions were made in a manner that will enable them to be
  measured in the context of past inductee or nominee contributions, and in the historical
  setting of the time in which he or she lived, or lives;
• The nominee must have influenced conservation in Wyoming through a sustained and
  outstanding contribution during the course of their employment, or through volunteer efforts, in at least one – and preferably several – of the following areas:
  • Environmental law enforcement
  • Applied resource management
  • Conservation education
  • Conservation policy formation, legislation, and public leadership
  • Conservation-oriented research
  • Conservation literature, art, or journalism
  • Volunteer or paid efforts in the interest of conservation
• If the nominee is a living person, to be considered, they shall be at a stage in their career where their contributions to conservation are undeniable and unlikely to be impugned by any present or future endeavors.

On top of the Hall of Fame nominations, WGFD is looking for nominations for the Wyoming Youth Conservationist of the Year award. This award honors residents 18 and under for their leadership and achievements in conservation.

The nomination process is simple and will be open until March 31.

Week 7 of Wyoming prep girls’ basketball is here. The push towards the postseason begins in the last week of January. Teams continue to focus on conference games, as there are no tournaments for the second straight week. At least one game is on all six days of the competition week. There are a lot of league games, but also several cross-quad and interclass matchups.
