The Forest Legacy Program, a voluntary program funded by the USDA Forest Service, works with state agencies and local landowners to protect ecologically important forests that are threatened with conversion to non-forest uses. The Program protects properties within areas designated by the state as important Forest Legacy Areas primarily through conservation easements with willing landowners. In order to become a participant in the Forest Legacy Program, the Wyoming State Forestry Division conducted an Assessment of Need (AON). The AON evaluated existing forest resources and conditions, identified threats to Wyoming forests, and designated Forest Legacy Areas.
The Conservation Fund was awarded the contract to complete the Wyoming Forest Legacy Program AON. The project was developed by The Conservation Fund with our public partners: the Wyoming State Forestry Division and the Wyoming State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee. The AON was completed in September of 2007. Download the Assessment of Need:
