The Bureau of Land Management Pinedale Field Office will be patrolling over 500,000 acres of BLM-administered winter closure areas through April 30th. Shelley Gregory says the annual winter closures have been in effect since 2008 and help protect elk, moose, pronghorn, and mule deer from disruptive human activities which, during the difficult winter months, can increase the mortality rate for these animals.
The Ryegrass, Bench Corral, Deer Hills, Calpet and Miller Mountain closures include all BLM-administered lands north of Fontenelle Creek, east of the U.S. Forest Service Boundary, west of State Highway 189, and south of Horse Creek. The Mesa winter range closure includes all BLM-administered lands east of County Road 110 (East Green River Road), north of County Road 136 (Paradise Valley Road), west of the New Fork River, and south of State Highway 191.
As a reminder, motorized machines, excluding snow machines, are not allowed off-road on BLM-administered lands at any time. For more information, please call 307-367-5317.
