Committee members will be selected by the Board of County Commissioners based on training, experience or affiliation pertinent to the goals of the WPLI initiative. Successful applicants will be Park County residents able to make a two- to three-year commitment to serve on the committee and must be able to work cooperatively in a group comprised of diversified interests to develop a unified recommendation. One representative from each of the following areas will be appointed: agriculture/ranching, conservation, sportsman, energy, motorized recreation, non-motorized recreation.

The core goal of the Wyoming Public Lands Initiative (WPLI) is to develop a locally-led, Wyoming-specific, legislative lands package to address designation, release, or other management for Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in Wyoming. The WPLI is a voluntary project initiated and led at the county level that will culminate in legislation forwarded to Wyoming’s Congressional delegation. While the WPLI is intended to allow for flexibility at the county or multi-county level in the development of final recommendations for legislative text, process integrity and stakeholder inclusion is critical to a successful conclusion.
