Team Wildlife: Conserving habitat, helping species

Wildlife is all around us, from the songbirds flitting around our backyards, to trout rising from a rushing river, to nimble mountain goats scrambling up Utah's highest peaks. We work with many partners and outdoors enthusiasts — like you — to ensure we will have healthy habitat and wildlife for generations to come.

Hunting and fishing fund conservation in Utah

Most of the funding used to manage fish and wildlife populations — and to continually improve their habitats — doesn't come from the general taxes that everyone pays. The majority of Utah's wildlife funding comes from you, the people who hunt and fish and love the outdoors! Your purchases of hunting and fishing licenses and permits (and all the gear you need to use them) help fund wildlife conservation in Utah.

Stream restoration. Wildfire rehabilitation. Planting projects. Fish stocking. Wildlife transplants. These projects wouldn't be possible without those who hunt and fish. If you're hunting and fishing in Utah, you're a conservation champion and a member of Team Wildlife!
