The Lower Wind River Natural Resource District, Popo Agie Conservation District and the Laramie County Conservation District are working to obtain local mill levies to assist with the implementation of natural resource programs in their local areas. Each of the Districts are seeking support from the voters on the General Election to be held on November 7th. Approximately 50 percent of Wyoming's land base is in private ownership.
