The Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame was created in 2004 by then Gov. Dave Freudenthal to honor individuals, both living and deceased, who have made significant and lasting contributions to the conservation of Wyoming’s outdoor heritage. Recognition is given to those who have consistently worked over many years to conserve Wyoming’s natural resources through volunteer service, environmental restoration, educational activities, media (including audio, visual and written), the arts and political and individual leadership. The Hall of Fame aims to educate the public about and promote the importance of the state's rich outdoor heritage.
Game and Fish administers the Outdoor Hall of Fame. Nominations are accepted from March 1-June 30 each year. Nomination forms are available on the Game and Fish website.
