The Wyoming Range, a part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, has caught the interest of the energy industry, which hopes that the huge payouts found in the neighboring Upper Green River Valley will extend into the mountains.

One Houston energy firm is seeking to drill wildcat wells in the Range's upper Hoback drainage. The drill site would be in a Roadless area considered crucial winter range for moose and vital for the recovery of Canada lynx.  A lucrative energy strike here could usher in an onslaught of industrial drilling across the Wyoming Range, degrading the character of this scenic mountain range forever.

The Wilderness Society is part of an effort to stop this project.  You can help by weighing in with the Forest Service.  Please remember that adding a few words about your concern for wildlife or roadless areas would add impact to your letter.
