Annual PAW Wildlife & Reclamation Conference 2026

The 2026 conference takes place at Ramkota Hotel in Casper, Wyoming.

The organizer identifies industry leaders, researchers, and wildlife and reclamation specialists as part of the audience.

It is most useful for environmental compliance staff, wildlife biologists and reclamation contractors working around Wyoming oil and gas, since the speakers include operators such as EOG and Devon Energy, regulators from WOGCC and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and researchers from the University of Wyoming and Brigham Young University. Its regional, single-topic focus, hosted by the Petroleum Association of Wyoming in Casper, means it suits people who want to meet the state's agency and operator contacts; those looking for a broad national energy show or a large exhibit hall will get less from it.

Attendees at Wyoming energy and natural resource meetings usually wear business casual, often jeans or slacks with a collared shirt or fleece vest, and boots are common; December in Casper calls for a warm coat.
