In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to reflect on all we have to be grateful for this season and to share that gratitude with you.

Our Many Supporters

Thanks to you, 2025 was our most successful year yet. We raised over $164,000 from 84 contributors. That support not only underscores how deeply you care about Wyoming’s wildlife but also demonstrates the growing, grassroots reach that WYldlife for Tomorrow has built in just a few short years. 

Because of your generosity in 2025, we were able to help fund the Highway 189 wildlife crossing, the Upper Sweetwater Fence Initiative, the Jackson Elk Herd research project, and supported progress on the Highway 26 wildlife crossing near Dubois. These projects are set to make a tangible difference for both wildlife and humans. Your commitment fuels this work, and we’re energized to put even more of your contributions on the ground in 2026. 

Business Partners

Our nearly 100 business partners also showed up in a big way this year.  From hosting events at Cowboy Coffee, Dave Hansen Whitewater, and Jackson Drug, to bringing forward new ideas and collaborations we’re excited to expand and their engagement has been truly inspiring. The demonstrated generosity during Old Bill’s further proved that our network is the backbone of what we strive to accomplish. Together with recreation, tourism, and hospitality partners across Wyoming, we’re building a model of conservation rooted in shared values and collaborative action. 

Wyoming’s Wildlife

And of course, we are deeply grateful for the very thing that brings us all together: Wyoming’s wildlife. The awe-inspiring scale of annual migrations, delight of spotting newborns each spring, and fall traditions grounding hunters and families across the state — there is not a season that goes by where wildlife isn’t shaping our culture and well-being in countless ways. Wildlife has also proven time and time again to sustain local economies, as visitors are drawn from around the world to witness the animals that define our remarkable home. This year, and every year, we are especially grateful for our wild Wyoming. 

To All Who Stand With Us

It would take far more than a single blog post to acknowledge everyone we are grateful for this Thanksgiving. Whether you’ve liked or shared one of our posts on social media, attended an event, volunteered, donated, or simply modeled responsible behavior around wildlife, please know that we consider you part of the herd.

Your support matters. It strengthens this movement, protects the wildlife we all cherish, and ensures a brighter future for Wyoming’s wild places.

From all of us at WYldlife for Tomorrow, thank you!
