Wyoming Youth for Natural Resources (WYNR)

Proposals should include at least one of the following elements:

• Address at least one wildlife or natural resource conservation issue (for example, habitat and open space enhancement and protections, or the relationship of industrial development to habitat, or non-consumptive wildlife management).
• Serve as a catalyst to initiate conservation and/or best practices in the areas of wildlife and natural resources.
• Encourage the involvement of young people in volunteer activities centered around natural resources.
• Apply new technologies (for example, geographic information systems or remote sensing) to outdoor learning.

Consider the sustainability of the proposed project once grant funding has ended.

In addition to evaluating each proposal against the above elements, the Wyoming Wildlife Foundation (WWF) Advisory Board asks the following questions about each grant request:

• Is the proposed project youth centered?
  
• Do youth have active participation in the project?
• Does the proposal emphasize the project rather than simply requesting funds for equipment?
• Does the proposed project have measurable outcomes and objectives?
• Does the proposed project collaborate with other agencies, organizations, or businesses?
• Does the proposed project have other funding sources?
