  • 2002 Forest Health Highlight, Wyoming 2002
    The Forest Resource Wyoming contains 9.8 million acres of forested lands. These forests provide many valuable resources including wood fiber, recreation, tourism, wildlife and fish habitat, cattle/sheep grazing, mineral resources, and water production. Approximately 4.3 million acres are used commercially for wood fiber production. Over 17,000 forested acres were harvested in 2002. Water from forested lands provides 19,437 miles of streams and 427,219 surface acres of lakes in Wyoming. Special Issues Wildfires - Four years of extensive, severe drought promoted a busy wildfire season in 2002 for Wyoming. Over 270 wildfires started in Wyoming during the year and burned over 56,000 acres of forest and range lands.

In recent years, many bark beetle populations increased to outbreak and epidemic levels in these forests. The various bark beetle infestations are dramatically killing thousands of conifers throughout the forests in Wyoming. Adding to the beetle problems are disease problems affecting limber and whitebark pines, and subalpine firs. Mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, attacks lodgepole, ponderosa, limber, and whitebark pines in Wyoming. This beetle is killing an estimated 200,000 pines in Wyoming.

  • PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Young, Manager [email protected] (307) 235-8462 Bozeman Trail is the Topic of Lunch & Learn at Fort Caspar Casper, Wyoming – The Fort Caspar Museum Association announces its winter Lunch & Learn program which will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2017. There will be an optional lunch beginning at 12:00 pm, followed by a lecture at 1:00 pm given by Douglas R. Cubbison who will present “Defeat Along the Bozeman Trail.” There really was gold in “them thar hills.” In May 1863, gold was discovered in Alder Gulch in what is now southwestern Montana. As the Civil War came to a close, the new goldfield lured Frontiersman John Bozeman unemployed veterans and was viewed by the federal government as a solution to the war debt. The problem was how to get there. One route led west over South Pass into Utah, then north to the gold camps around Virginia City. This route was long, arduous, and time consuming. A shorter and more efficient route, located by John Bozeman, led from the Oregon Trail along the North Platte River, northwest through the Powder River Country. In the fall of 1865, the federal government directed the 18th U.S. Infantry to establish the Bozeman Trail to the Montana goldfields the next spring. Between 1866 and 1868, the U.S. Army would struggle with providing route security along the Bozeman Trail. Mr. Cubbison, Curator of the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum and First Vice President of the Wyoming State Historical Society, will provide a preview of his new book on the route to Montana by discussing how the U.S.
