Wyoming's 120,000-acre Fortification Creek area - and its majestic elk herd - is currently being threatened by rushed plans for coal bed methane gas development.

CLICK HERE to watch recent news video by KOTA TV about the threat to this trophy elk herd by energy development on federal lands.  Then take action by writing to the Bureau of Land Management to oppose any more energy leasing.

The Wyoming Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has already issued 2,000 permits to drill coal bed methane gas before they've analyzed the impacts on wildlife or water resources. There's no reason to rush to develop coal bed methane when such a beautiful and unique landscape is at stake.

Please speak up today to protect these important public lands - and the elk herd they support - from damaging resource extraction practices.

The surrounding landscape is becoming transformed by consumptive land uses - even in the vast state of Wyoming, Fortification Creek has become an island refuge for wildlife ringed by a sea of mineral development.

Click here to urge National BLM Director Bob Abbey to slow down the unneeded coal bed methane gas development on Wyoming's Fortification Creek to help conserve these cherished public lands.
