Wyoming Board of Agriculture - Living
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 115 trees throughout the state
fairgrounds. The Living Legacy Program is moving to expand the
efforts along Cowboy Drive and other areas on the Fairgrounds in
preparation for the 100th Wyoming State Fair. Please consider
a tree donation this year. Space is limited and
applications must be received before
May 18 to be included in this year's plantings.
