TX-Sized Conservation Coalition Restores Desert Bighorns To Franklin Mountains

Hope For The Future

Franklin Mountains State Park is unique in that it is mainly within the El Paso metro area. It's popular with hikers, campers, and photographers, which created a high-profile and safe release location for the sheep. More than 600 people were in attendance to watch the historic release of 77 desert bighorn sheep, which had more significance than most knew.

Conservation Impact Overview

FY 2023-2024 Summary

As noted in our inaugural FY 2022-23 Conservation Impact Summary last year, WSF revised our Grant-In-Aid (GIA) process in the spring of 2022 to focus on larger, bolder, more impactful, and multi-year legacy projects with nearly all of them coming to WSF through our chapter and affiliate network. This action transformed our GIA program, and our Board of Directors recently renewed this focus for our current fiscal year. We are very pleased to report a second year of record results and record funding toward our conservation, education, and advocacy mission in this expanded FY 2023-24 Conservation Impact Summary.

THE HUNT FOR A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OREGON BIGHORN

With hunting being such a big part of my life growing up, there has always been the excitement of big game draw day. I woke early in spring of 2024 to see if I had drawn any tags. I passed the word UNSUCCESSFUL a few times and then launched out of bed when I saw SUCCESSFUL in green beside bighorn sheep. After 17 years, I had finally drawn an Oregon ram tag. I immediately called my dad, mom, and brother to tell them the great news, knowing they would be as excited as me.
