BLM Land Lease Sale in WY


Next month, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to offer Thousands of Acres of Prime Wildlife Habitat in Wyoming for Oil and Gas Leasing.

This Treasured Land is home to: Elk; Greater Sage Grouse; and Mule Deer. If the Lands are Leased to Big Oil, their Habitats will be Destroyed. Not to Mention, Fracking has been shown to create an Increase in Earthquakes, and leading to: Avalanches; Severe Erosion; and Landslides.

The BLM Plans, to put 181,881 Acres, of Wyoming Public Land in the Hands of Big Oil and Gas.

The Water that is Extracted by Fracking can be Radioactive. This poses a Threat to Wildlife and Neighboring Communities. The Water could Poison our Planet and People.

The BLM has Moved its Public Input Process for this Lease Sale Online due to the Pandemic. This Stifles the Voices of Residents in the Local Communities.

We need to Stop Fossil Fuel Extraction from chipping away at any more of Wyoming’s Natural Lands. At a time when we are a mere 10 years to Climate Catastrophe, there has never been a more Pertinent Time to keep Fossil Fuels in the Ground and Direct Resources to Renewable Energy.

We’re up against Powerful Foes in the Oil and Gas Industry. They’re Pushing the BLM to Advance this Lease Sale so they can Drill, no matter the Damage to People, Wildlife, or Wyoming’s Iconic Landscapes.

Wyoming Ranks 46th in the Nation for Broadband Internet Access and Half of the Americans Living on Tribal Lands do Not have Access to Reliable Internet. As long as the Only way for People to Share their Concerns is through Commenting Online. We need your Help.

Together, we can Win. Earlier this month, after nearly 30,000 Friends of the Earth Members spoke out Against a similar Lease Sale in Utah, the BLM Halted it. Now, we need you to do the same thing in Wyoming.
