Game and Fish Announces 2025 Landowners of the Year

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has selected four landowners from around the state for its 30th annual Landowner of the Year Award. These landowners were nominated by Game and Fish employees through a regional and state selection process. The three landowners are: Turtle Rock Ranch,  in Casper, NL Land and Livestock Inc. in Lander, JBar 9 Ranch Managers in Cody and Falxa Ranch in Sheridan owned by Betty Falxa and her late husband, Martin.

Since 1995, the Landowner of the Year Award has been presented to Wyoming landowners who have demonstrated outstanding practices in wildlife management, habitat improvement and conservation techniques on their properties. These companies and families have cooperated with Game and Fish to provide access for hunters and anglers on their properties as well. The formal award ceremony for these landowners will take place September 9 in Lander.
