On August 9th, the Bureau of Land Management Kemmerer Field Office held a successful National Public Lands Day event to remove fencing treacherous to wildlife. Shelley Gregory says that thirty-five volunteers from the community, KFO, Wyoming Game and Fish Department and local ranches finished removing four miles of fencing from a nine-mile section. During last year's event, five miles of fencing was removed.
The KFO, in cooperation with Albert Creek Allotment permittees - the Sears and Collins ranches - planned the fence removal to improve the movement of the Wyoming Range and Uinta deer herds and the Carter Lease pronghorn herd throughout their crucial winter range. It was common to find up to 100 animals entangled in the fence each year.
