BLM To Hold Meeting Thursday On Oil Shale And Tar Pits Development

The Wyoming Wildlife Federation is calling wildlife supporters to attend the Bureau of Land Management meeting tonight in Rock Springs. Public Land Organizer Matthew Copeland says the BLM is calling for public input on their draft plan for oil shale and tar sands development in northwestern Colorado, southwestern Wyoming, and northeastern Utah.






Copeland is hoping sportsmen will show support for the BLM's proposal to take a much more cautious approach to oil shale development and to limit leasing to research and development projects. He also believes that all fish and wildlife habitats should be excluded from oil shale activity.






The meeting will be held tonight from 7 to 9:30 PM at the Rock Springs BLM Office.
