Working together for wild places


COG brings people together to care for public lands and outdoor spaces across southeast Wyoming. Through volunteer projects, community partnerships, and stewardship efforts, we help improve trails, restore habitat, support recreation, and create lasting connections between people and the outdoors.

Projects we work on

Our volunteer projects range from building trails, to enhancing wildlife habitat, to cleaning up trash and promoting responsible outdoor ethics. We work with community groups of all types — cyclists, angles, hikers, hunters, rock climbers, backcountry horsemen, and more — to enhance our public lands and expand opportunities for responsible outdoor recreation.
