Wyoming Wetlands Society
Our primary objectives are to aid in the restoration of the Rocky Mountain Population of Trumpeter Swans and to protect, preserve, restore and enhance the wetlands they depend on. This is accomplished through partnerships with private landowners, state and federal agencies, and other nonprofit organizations.
Problematic Beavers?
The Wyoming Wetlands Society has been assisting Teton County landowners by live trapping ‘problem’ beaver since 2004. The beavers trapped in this program are relocated to areas in the Gros Ventre River drainage to restore and enhance wetland habitat. Many of the beavers we live trap are those that are clogging head gates, damaging expensive landscaping, or flooding yards or roads with their dam building activities on private property.
For information concerning live beaver trapping for wetland restoration, please call us at (307) 203-2209 or email us.
The Trumpeter Swan Fund
The Trumpeter Swan Fund was created by WWS in 1986 as a source of funding to support our Trumpeter Swan Captive Breeding Program. Our captive breeding program is currently producing upwards of 40 cygnets per year. By 2025, our program will grow to 10 captive breeding pairs that may produce 60 cygnets or more per year. In addition to the breeding program, WWS coordinated the Canadian Egg Collection Project. Over a three-year period, we successfully hatched and raised nearly 150 cygnets from this project in order to improve the genetic diversity of our local Greater Yellowstone population and our captive breeding population.
