Grant Overview
Wyoming's Outdoor Education Program aims to provide students with hands-on environmental conservation and outdoor skills training. The program's target outcomes include increasing students' knowledge of Wyoming's natural resources, promoting environmental stewardship, and developing outdoor skills such as camping and hiking. Wyoming's vast wilderness areas and low population density make it an ideal location for outdoor education, with 95% of the state's land managed by federal or state agencies.
These outcomes matter in Wyoming because the state's economy is heavily reliant on natural resource management and tourism. By educating students about the importance of conservation and outdoor skills, the program aims to develop a future workforce that is knowledgeable about and invested in the state's natural resources. Wyoming's rural communities, in particular, will benefit from the program, as they often have limited access to environmental education resources.
The program will be implemented through partnerships with local organizations and land management agencies, such as the Wyoming State Parks and the US Forest Service. These partnerships will provide access to outdoor education facilities and expertise, allowing students to participate in hands-on learning experiences. Wyoming's unique geography, with its vast open spaces and low population density, makes it an ideal location for outdoor education.
To achieve its outcomes, the program will require a coordinated effort between schools, local organizations, and land management agencies. Wyoming's rural landscape presents logistical challenges, but the program is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different local contexts. The state's frontier county designation will be taken into account when implementing the program, with special consideration given to areas with limited access to environmental education resources.
Unlike Colorado's outdoor education programs, Wyoming's program is tailored to the state's specific natural resource management needs and rural landscape, making it a unique opportunity for Wyoming students to develop outdoor skills and environmental knowledge.
