Legacy Program
The Living Legacy Program has been working to "Bring Back
the Canopy" at the Wyoming State Fair since 2006. Since that
time, the program has planted over 160 trees throughout the state
fairgrounds. Due to overwhelming interest, the program has
been expanded to include installation of beautiful tree guards to
provide added protection to the new trees. In 2013 donations
are being accepted for the care and maintenance of existing trees as
well as the purchase of tree guards for existing trees. At
this time, no new trees are being planted on the grounds. If
you are interested in donating to the program, please complete and
return the brochure.
On May 3, 2013 approximately 20
volunteers planted 8 trees and installed 36 additional tree guards.
