The Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame was created in 2004 by Governor Dave Freudenthal to honor those individuals, both living and posthumously, who have made significant, lasting, lifetime contributions to the conversation of Wyoming’s outdoor heritage. 

Recognition is given to people who have worked consistently over many years to conserve Wyoming’s natural resources through volunteer service, environmental restoration, educational activities, audio/visual and written media, the arts and political and individual leadership. The Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame is designed to educate the public about, and promote the significance of our state's rich outdoor heritage.
