Project Background Information and Project Objectives: The Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) works with partners (state, non-profits, counties and private entities) to implement a long-term science-based program to assess, conserve, and enhance the quality and quantity of aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in southwest Wyoming, while facilitating responsible energy and other developments.

The project also includes public fishing access for foot and boat travel on approximately 4.5 miles of the Green River, and conveyance of mineral rights to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD).
