	Publication #: B-1230 Date Published: 12/01/2011 Publication Author(s): David T. Taylor Jill Lovato Jessica Sargent-Michaud Daniel Stevens

Description:
In 2004 and 2007, the Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Natural Resources partnered with the Wyoming Stock Growers Association and The Nature Conservancy to conduct public opinion polls on open space and natural resource conservation and development. The polls show growing interest in setting aside public money to protect water, wildlife habitat, and ranchlands (from 53 percent in 2004 to 69 percent in 2007; Boelter and Mays 2004, Hulme et al. 2008). In 2005, the Wyoming Legislature made such an investment by creating the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust. This report analyzes the return on that investment to Wyoming residents over the past six years.
