Red Desert

Considered the next big site for coal bed methane development in Wyoming is the Red Desert, which includes the Jack Morrow Hills, the majority of the Great Divide Basin, and Adobe Town, and is the largest potential BLM Wilderness area in the state.  It is one of the finest high desert ecosystems in the nation supporting endangered wildlife such as the sage grouse, pronghorn antelope, pygmy rabbit, and ferruginous hawk. With Adobe Town recently withdrawn, our work will focus on the remaining segments of this potential wilderness area.
