Bill > SF0052

This bill authorizes the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust Account Board, referred to as the "Board," to fund several large projects in 2026 using money from the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust Income Account, which is a fund dedicated to wildlife and natural resource conservation. Specifically, the bill approves funding for projects including the Upper Greybull Fish Passage III to restore native fish populations and riparian ecosystems, Baggs Valley Headwaters V for rangeland restoration to improve habitats for various wildlife species, Absaroka Front Cheatgrass and Western Wyoming Cheatgrass projects to remove invasive grasses and conserve valuable ecosystems, Cody Canal Fish Screen to prevent fish from entering irrigation systems, and North Platte Cheatgrass to manage invasive grasses and reduce fire risk. The bill also specifies the total budget and grant amounts for each project and appropriates funds from the income account to the Board for these purposes, with any unspent funds to be returned to the income account by June 30, 2030.
