Public Comment Sought on Proposed Sublette Mule Deer Mitigation Project

Public comment is being sought on a joint proposal between the Bureau of Land Management, Pinedale Anticline Project Office and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to improve the quantity and quality of habitat in the Sublette Mule Deer Herd Unit with focus on the Ryegrass, Soapholes and Mesa areas. Shelley Gregory tells us that the “10-Year Sublette Mule Deer Mitigation Plan” proposal is in response to the decline of mule deer on the Mesa winter range and is associated with the 2008 Pinedale Anticline Project Area Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision. It can be found at blm.gov.






Also on Nov. 1, a public meeting will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Pinedale Field Office to provide information on the project’s proposed vegetation treatments and gather public comments.






Comments on the plan must be received by 4:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30.
