Game and Fish Department Inspires

It was an out-of-school learning experience recently in Pinedale when several Game and Fish personnel participated in the Department’s new “Inspire a Kid” program this summer. Big Game Migration Coordinator Jill Randall, Wildlife Biologist Dean Clause, Wolf Biologist Ken Mills and Public Information Specialist Mark Gocke have all paid a visit to the Little Wranglers summer programs held at the Pinedale Aquatic Center this summer. Although Game and Fish has long provided educational outreach programs for both youth and adult, current Wyoming Game and Fish Director Brian Nesvik has made the engagement of youth in the outdoors a priority with the inception of the new “Inspire a Kid” program, which is being carried out in a variety of ways all across the Cowboy State. Nesvik has noted that it was an encounter he had with a Wyoming Game and Fish employee as a youngster that inspired him to want to become a Game Warden, which he did in Pinedale for several years, and now he oversees the entire agency.
