(Cheyenne) – Olin Sims, a leader in the Wyoming conservation community, died unexpectedly after an accident at his ranch in McFadden last week.

Olin’s commitment to the land and to the work of these groups was clear, and his voice was influential in the conservation community. I want to express my condolences to Olin’s wife, Tammie, his son, Tyler, and the entire Sims family.”
