Wildlife Group Supports Wallace Nomination

The Wyoming Wildlife Federation has sent the Congress a letter supporting the nomination of Rob Wallace for the next Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. In the letter, the venerable conservation and advocacy organization urged the Senate to confirm Wallace for that position when they meet today. In part, their letter states: “We believe that Mr. Wallace will bring the right skills to this role, informed by his long personal history in conservation and commitment to public service. As a young man, Mr. Wallace worked as a seasonal ranger in Grand Teton National Park before serving as Assistant Director of the National Park Service. As a founding member of the Grand Teton National Park Foundation and a co-founder and President of the Upper Green River Conservancy, Mr. Wallace has firsthand experience bringing communities together to conserve important landscapes and wildlife habitat in his home state of Wyoming — work built upon uniting Americans through our shared conservation values.” Wallace also served for a time as Chief of Staff for Wyoming’s Senator Malcolm Wallop.
