The Wilderness Society: Don’t let drilling destroy the Upper Green
May 2nd, 2007 8:25 pm by KellyDon’t let drilling destroy the Upper Green
Welcome to the southern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, with its mountain vistas, sagebrush mesas, and verdant ribbons of forest. Home to the longest wildlife migration corridor in the lower 48, the Upper Green River Valley is quickly being consumed by gas drilling, resulting in hazy skies, heavy traffic, and greatly reduced populations of wildlife.
Even so, the Bush Administration plans to triple the number of wells there, to more than 10,000 gas wells. But there’s an alternative plan - one that promotes balance and sensible growth. Help us tell the Bureau of Land Management to choose a better plan before the June 18 public comment deadline.
