Answer
The Statewide Habitat Plan (SHP, formerly known as the Strategic Habitat Plan) was revised in 2020 to reflect additional information on wildlife and fish populations, distributions, and habitat. In particular, updates reflect activities under the Department's current Strategic Plan. The SHP recognizes key wildlife habitat priority areas by delineating them as crucial, restoration, and/or connectivity (fish and wildlife migration) areas; and guides the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's efforts in implementing habitat projects. Accomplishment highlights are compiled annually in the Statewide Habitat Plan Annual Report.

The Wyoming Wetlands Conservation Strategy was originally developed to guide statewide conservation efforts and to provide a technical foundation for the wetland component of the 2010 Wyoming State Wildlife Action Plan. Regional plans have been prepared to provide more specific guidance over the next 5-10 years in the priority wetland complexes identified in the Statewide Strategy. Members of the Wyoming Bird Habitat Conservation Partnership completed the plans.

Cheatgrass, and other Invasive Annual Grasses (IAGs), represent the most prevalent issue facing Wyoming's wildlife, landowners and land managers today. Unfortunately, their expansion is continuing at an alarming rate, altering native range lands and important wildlife habitats. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has a long and proud history of systematically addressing threats to natural resources, and the Plan below outlines practical steps to begin reversing these trends in IAGs within Wyoming's most important habitats.
