Wyoming's Upper Green River Valley is a magnificent western landscape of broad sagebrush plains surrounded by towering snowcapped peaks.  Part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, it serves as a crucial wintering area for enormous herds of pronghorn antelope, mule deer, elk, and moose.  Every spring and fall antelope complete the longest big-game migration in the lower 48 States travelling between Grand Teton National Park and the Upper Green.

The BLM has begun a process, called "scoping" which will determine issues the agency will consider as it revises its land use plan for the area. The pivotal question is whether the BLM will write a balanced plan that includes protection of free-ranging wildlife and clear vistas for our children to enjoy, or allow full-scale industrial development of this magnificent valley for the benefit of energy companies.
