The mountains of the Wyoming Range are too special to drill, yet their world-class recreation, wildlife and water resources are threatened by proposed oil and gas development.
Along the southern boundary of Greater Yellowstone in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, a proposed natural gas development continues to draw public criticism for threatening the area’s legendary wildlife and Wild and Scenic Hoback River. And now, there are growing concerns about air pollution spreading into surrounding wilderness areas and Grand Teton National Park.
A sad fate for more than 44,000 acres of unspoiled lands in western Wyoming’s Bridger-Teton National Forest has just taken an incredible turn for the better.
Our work with local residents, sportsmen, decision makers and partner groups has finally led to the Bridger-Teton National Forest’s cancellation of oil and gas leases on 44,720 acres in this southern part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
