The Sheep Show® Inspires the Next Generation

During the recent Sheep Show® in Reno, NV, the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) welcomed over 3,000 young people and their families to its annual Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience (YWCE).
 
“In three days, at least 2,904 youth participated in the event,” said Dr. Ryan Brock, WSF’s Youth Education Coordinator.  “This was a 5% increase from last year’s 2,754 individual kids. We finally had to swing the doors wide open and stop counting. All our volunteer instructors and myself were thrilled with the turnout.”

Conservation Legacy

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund Aids WSF Projects

"Would you like to round up to support conservation?" The question caught 16-year-old Nathan off guard as he clutched his brand-new fly rod at the checkout counter. It was his first time in a Bass Pro Shops, and he was already in awe of the towering big game displays and the swimming pool sized aquarium full of fish he had only seen on Instagram.

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.
