Mac Blewer of the Wyoming Outdoor Council fears the impact
coalbed methane drilling could have on the remote, wild landscapes
of southern Wyoming's Red Desert.
Items by Lynne Bama
In Washington, a federal appeals court has ruled that the
controversial Huckleberry Mountain land exchange needs more
study.
Land swaps, in which the Forest Service and BLM trade odd
parcels of public land for ecologically valuable private land, have
a long history in the West, but some say the trades too often
profit land spectators at the expense of the public and the
land.
Someday the Shoshone Dam at the end of the North Fork of
Wyoming's Shoshone River will be only a memory, transformed by its
silted-up reservoir into a gigantic waterfall.
Cultures around the world differ over whether horse meat
is a suitable food for people.
BLM and wild horse watchers disagree over how many of the
animals roam Nevada and what kind of impact they're having in the
state.
The management of wild horses on Montana's Pryor
Mountain's Wild Horse Range is caught between the love Americans
have for the animal and the concern some environmentalists have for
the impact it has on the land.

Lander, Wyo., founder Tom Bell is honored.
Some wildlife managers and environmentalists say the
National Elk Refuge at Jackson Hole, Wyo., should end its policy of
feeding elk every winter.
The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep's smaller relative, the
desert bighorn, has problems of its own.
Archaeological remains throughout the West show how Native
Americans revered the bighorn sheep.
Scientists find that adult bighorn males - whose horns are
a symbol of virility - spend much of their adult lives in
homosexual societies.
The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep has fought its way back
from near extinction, but efforts to reintroduce it to all its
former range are more difficult than they appear.
Record numbers of winter visitors to Yellowstone create
controversy about how to manage visitor- and snowmobile-caused
problems.
The controversial Crown Butte mining project near
Yellowstone rouses opposition from both local citizens and national
politicians.
Yellowstone National Park Supervisor Michael V. Finley
stirs controversy and conflict as he fights to save America's
oldest national park.
Tom Bell and the Friends of South Pass seek to preserve
the area as a National Rural Historic Landscape.
HCN founder Tom Bell fights the proposed Altamont gas
pipeline, which he says would harm the historic Oregon Trail at
South Pass.
Petroleum industry criticizes BLM proposal for managing
Wyoming's Grass Creek area, during a heated public
hearing.
Seeing Yellowstone by snowmobile is understandably
entertaining.
The winter influx of snowmobiles into Yellowstone creates
problems.
Bison straying from Yellowstone into Montana are
slaughtered because of brucellosis fears.
Yellowstone's growing bison population provokes
controversy over brucellosis when they stray past park's
boundaries.
Six different applications have been files for constructing reservoirs in Wyoming's Sunlight Basin, just east of Yellowstone National Park.
For the past year and a half, development near Cody, Wyo., has been stalled while the county writes and adopts comprehensive zoning regulations. But developers have plans for turning a narrow strip of land abutting the Shoshone National Forest into recreational homes, condominiums, and golf courses.
