State Profile

Wyoming is blessed with an abundance of land administered for public benefit. Citizens use these lands for hunting, fishing, hiking, birding, biking, camping and many other beneficial activities. The forests clean the air, and filter rain and snowmelt into crystal-clear water. Public lands sustain our life in the West and nation.

Wyoming is home to Yellowstone National Park, America's first. Wyoming visitors also can enjoy Grand Teton National Park, Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Areathe Thunder Basin National Grassland,  the vast Red Desert, and 4 million acres of designated wilderness, including the outstanding Bridger, Jedediah Smith, Teton, and Washakie wilderness areas.

Roadless areas are the foundation of Western culture. They are the open range that spreads past the horizon. As the late Senator Craig Thomas said in 2006, roadless areas in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and other national forests embody our nation's natural and historical heritage, and should be protected.

REP supports conservation measures that protect our scenic places. We advocate a measured and balanced deliberative process where the needs and values of all stakeholders are taken into account in the decision making process regarding our public lands.

Working together, we can conserve Wyoming's outstanding natural heritage for the pleasure and benefit of future generations.
