Russell casey

The Utah Wild Sheep Foundation (UWSF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Russell Casey as the organization’s new Executive Director.

Russ’s passion for conservation was forged early in life. Hunting from a young age instilled in him a deep appreciation for wild places, the wildlife that inhabit them, and the enduring responsibility to protect and preserve those resources for future generations.

Over the past two and a half years, Russ has been an active and dedicated supporter of the Utah Wild Sheep Foundation and its mission to conserve Utah’s wild sheep populations. From volunteering at banquets and participating in guzzler and sheep relocation projects, to collaborating alongside members, donors, partners, and fellow volunteers, Russ has demonstrated a hands-on commitment to the work that defines the organization. It is that same spirit of service and stewardship that he now brings to his role as Executive Director.

The Utah Wild Sheep Foundation is dedicated to protecting the future of wild sheep in Utah through strategic fundraising, impactful education and outreach, dedicated support of our conservation partners, responsible project funding, advocacy for Sportsman’s rights and a commitment to operational excellence. We look forward to a bright future for wild sheep in Utah!
