The Outstanding Bighorn Teacher plays a vital role in the team of scientists, managers, and conservationists striving to secure the future of bighorn sheep by educating future generations of conservationists. Outstanding bighorn teachers are recognized for providing students with the opportunity to understand wild sheep biology and ecology and develop a conservation ethic around bighorns and other wildlife. These teachers also consistently work with students and conservation organizations to engage and inspire youth about wild sheep, wildlife, and wildlands.
