Wyoming

Since opening the doors in 2001, TU's Wyoming Water Project has strived to develop and implement a legislative strategy that can provide willing water right holders more flexibility and incentives to protect fishery resources. TU is working to demonstrate the ability to shepherd reasonable changes in Wyoming law through the legislative process, while working with local irrigators and cities to instill confidence in community-based approaches to balancing business operations and fishery needs. Such efforts will set the table for water policy and fishery restoration discussions for decades to come.

Over the past few years TU has also identified partnerships with specific landowners and municipalities to restore stream flows and protect fishery habitat. These projects have built relationships in rural communities, and strengthened our ability to call on allies to support legislative and policy changes that increase flexibility in how water is used.
