Rock Springs RMP
Submit a public comment in favor of a conservation-oriented resource management plan. If chosen, alternative B of the draft plan will stop oil and gas leasing in the Red Desert and will protect wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and public land for decades to come. You can learn more about the Red Desert by visiting our Instagram and Facebook , where we've launched a new audiogram series to share stories from SCWY members and supporters who care deeply about the Red Desert. The comment period closes January 17, so be sure to make your voice heard!

DEIS Comments
The Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) is tasked with determining whether or not to renew special use permits for artificial feeding on two locations in the forest: Dell Creek and Forest Park. Last month, the Forest Service released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) outlining potential alternatives to continued feeding. We are heartened to see alternatives that are in line with available science and geared toward the long-term survival of our elk herds. Now, we are asking for your help during this public comment period. Please click here to submit your comment in favor of closing BTNF feedgrounds for good. The comment deadline is January 16, 2024.
