2019 large project funding.

Wyoming's SF 77 authorizes $1.29 million in funding from the Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust Income Account for five specific conservation and restoration projects approved in 2019. The bill funds projects including three conservation easements (protecting over 4,500 acres for wildlife habitats like sage grouse and migration corridors) and two river restoration efforts (repairing infrastructure to maintain water flow and wetlands). Key provisions require Wyoming to be a third-party beneficiary in all conservation easements and specify that funds are only for projects already approved. The bill does not create new funding mechanisms but allocates existing trust funds to these pre-vetted projects, with appropriations totaling $260,000-$388,000 per project.
