WyPGLT is an organization of stewards of
Wyoming's privately owned grazing lands who have joined together for the common good. We are
individuals, corporations, partnerships, and other organizations.
WyPGLT programs, services, and activities are directed by its members,
through the Executive Committee, assisted by advisors from NRCS, University
of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service (UWCES) and from other federal and
state agencies. WyPGLT funding comes primarily from NRCS, but is always
looking for new partners to aid it in its mission.
Our Mission
WyPGLT members are
private grazing lands owners or managers. Our mission is to provide
leadership
in the stewardship
of Wyoming’s grazing lands; to satisfy current needs while maintaining and
enhancing these natural resources for Wyoming’s future generations.
We work as a partner
with the Wyoming NRCS and the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts
(WACD) in supporting
the purposes of the National Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative.
By assisting the
stewards of private grazing lands we are acting to:
-
Increase economic, environmental, and social stability.
-
Increase awareness and perception of needs and
opportunities
-
Improve the information base used in making sound land
policy and management decisions.
-
Close the gap between availability of knowledge and its
application.
-
Help the private landowner increase profitability on an
ecologically sound & sustainable basis.
-
Increase the availability of voluntary technical assistance to grazing
land owners who request it.
