BLM to conduct spring prescribed fire projects in the Bighorn Basin


(Worland, WY) – The Bureau of Land Management Wind River/Bighorn Basin District tentatively plans to conduct five prescribed fire projects within the Cody and Worland field office areas this spring as part of the BLM’s commitment to keeping public landscapes healthy and productive.  
The prescribed fire projects may be conducted March through May, and only when weather conditions and fuel moisture conditions are favorable for a safe and effective burn. Smoke may be visible at times during the operations.

“These projects are designed for overall improvements to land, vegetation, and wildlife habitat; to increase livestock and wildlife forage and improve distribution; and to reduce the hazardous build-up of fuels, which lessens the probability of a severe wildfire,” said BLM Assistant Fire Management Officer Rance Neighbors.  ....

Collaborative effort reclaims mine lands on Little Mountain | Bureau of Land Management


Collaborative effort reclaims mine lands on Little Mountain
CODY, Wyo. – Three hazardous mines abandoned 50 years ago were successfully reclaimed in 2020 in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, thanks to a shared commitment from the Bureau of Land Management and the State of Wyoming to enhance public safety and improve the health of public lands. 
From the early 1950s through 1970, the Little Mountain area in the northern Bighorn Mountains experienced a period of uranium exploration and underground mining. The surface and underground disturbance caused by this mining was never reclaimed, resulting in numerous physical and radiological hazards left behind. 
“We’re pleased to have partnered with the State of Wyoming to remove the dangerous physical and radiochemical hazards from this heavily used recreation area, creating a safer environment for the public,” said BLM Cody Field Manager Cade Powell.  ....
