The Outstanding Bighorn Teacher is part of a team of scientists, managers, and conservationists that strives to secure the future of bighorns by educating future generations of conservationists. Wild sheep embody Wyoming’s wildest and most rugged landscapes. Outstanding bighorn teachers are recognized for providing students with the opportunity to understand wild sheep and develop a conservation ethic around bighorns and other wildlife. Outstanding Bighorn Teachers work consistently with students and conservation organizations to inspire and educate youths about wild sheep and the importance of conserving wildlife and wildlands. The experiences these teachers provide our youths intertwine them with the fabric from which we Wyomingites are made–wildlands and wildlife. With the continued support of educators like these, our organizations can continue “putting and keeping kids and sheep on the mountain.”
