Bridger-Teton releases Draft EIS analysis for elk feedgrounds
Comments on the proposed project will be accepted through January 16, 2024

December 2, 2023

The Bridger-Teton National Forest has released the Dell Creek and Forest Park Elk Feedgrounds draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission’s application for continued long-term use of facilities at these two feedgrounds in Lincoln and Sublette Counties.

The DEIS analyzes Wyoming Game and Fish commission’s proposal to utilize National Forest System land for their winter elk feeding operations to maintain population objectives and control elk distribution to minimize conflicts with human land uses. The DEIS discloses potential effects of four alternatives including an alternative that would permit the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission to continue their current operations without changes.

The Notice of Availability (NOA) of the DEIS was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2023 and is available online at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/btnf/?project=60949.

The 45-day comment period begins with publication of the NOA in the Federal Register. Comments on the proposed project will be accepted through January 16, 2024.

Comments can be submitted electronically through the project webpage or directly to https://cara.ecosystem-management.org/Public//CommentInput?Project=60949. Please identify your comments on the subject line as "Elk Feedground Environmental Impact Statement." 

For more information or to be placed on the mailing list, please contact Randy Griebel at 307-739-5537.
