Thank you for helping to keep Wyoming’s working lands open for future generations!

I gladly support Wyoming's unique landscapes and western lifestyle!

Volunteer Your Time

The Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust relies on our volunteers to help accomplish our mission. We are stretched thinly across Wyoming and our limited staff cannot provide materials to every landowner, attend every event or complete every task. Our gracious and hard-working volunteers contribute their time and energy to bring WSGALT into their own communities.

Join a Local Chapter

Our Land Trust has local chapters in three vital areas of the state that function as our “eyes and ears” in those communities. The Carbon County Chapter, the Star Valley Chapter, and the Absaroka-Beartooth Chapter  are essential in providing local outreach, identifying prospective easement donors and helping to host local events.

Volunteer at an Event

Volunteer helpers are essential in making our events, such as a local reception or our Annual Barbecue, a success. Anyone interested in helping our organization become more visible and effective is encouraged to contact any Wyoming Stock Growers Ag Land Trust staff or board member.
