WYOMING OFFICE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION
Wyoming’s office began as a task force created by the governor in 2016 to study and make recommendations on the state’s outdoor recreation needs. That study recommended the creation of an office, and in 2020 Chris Floyd took over as Administrator of the Outdoor Recreation Office. The office is part of Wyoming’s Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources and is tasked with planning and developing outdoor recreation resources for the state with an eye toward growing the outdoor recreation sector of Wyoming’s economy.
