CONSERVATION PROGRAMS

The Wild Sheep Foundation’s purpose is “To Put and Keep Wild Sheep on the Mountain.” One of the ways we accomplish this is to raise funds and direct this money to state, provincial, territorial, and tribal/first nation wildlife agencies to help finance their wild sheep conservation and management programs.
