2023 large project funding.

Wyoming's SF 106 authorizes $3.245 million in funding from the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust Income Account for four specific conservation projects in 2023. It directly funds Teton County's highway crossing project ($2 million) to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's habitat conservation easement ($525,000), the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission's river restoration ($450,000), and the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation's rangeland improvement ($270,000). Each project targets wildlife habitat protection, migration corridor maintenance, or ecosystem restoration in designated counties. The bill specifies exact funding amounts and project purposes, drawing from the trust account without new tax revenue.
