By Sarah Hale on Jan 31, 2013 in News, Outdoors The decision to keep the Bridger Teton National Forest and the Caribou-Targhee National Forest separate was announced this week. BTForest Supervisor Jacqueline Buchanan and CT Forest Supervisor Brent Larson recommended to the Intermountain Regional Forester that consolidation of the two forests is not in the best interest of the public. Acting Regional Forester Marlene Finley concurred with their recommendation. In October 2012 then Regional Forester Harv Forsgren, asked the two forest supervisors to evaluate the opportunity to gain efficiencies and save money between the two forests. The goal is to find ways to reduce fixed costs, reduce duplication of administrative work and increase program delivery and work to the ground, Forsgren stated in the letter. The letter indicated that options would need at least $1 million in savings each year to be viable. After significant analysis, it was determined there wouldnt be sufficient cost savings to combine Forests, and that the services the Forests provide to the public and the resource would be negatively impacted, said Lynn Ballard of the Caribou-Targhee. U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo) expressed her support of the decision to keep the two forests separate. Im pleased … Continue reading →

Kolton Gage Herring is changing the world, one life at a time. He is doing it with the help of his mother, Lesli Dana. Kolton had a talent for making any story into an amazing adventure, she said. I always said that he was going to be an author because he could write like no other. He could draw. He had a pretty wild imagination. According to his step father, Ken, Kolton was drawn to animals and had a way with them. When it came to wildlife he could write about or draw anything, Ken said. He just liked animals, being around them and working with them. Koltons other interests included country music, being outdoors, four-wheeling, hunting, fishing and spending time with his dog, Coco. In most areas, Kolton could be considered a typical teenager. He had a girlfriend, was holding down a job with a playground development company and was trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. But unlike many area teens, Kolton was also dealing with mental illness. When Kolton was born he had a lot of medical problems, said Lesli. He was never a happy baby. He just screamed and screamed.

The statement further outlines that the WASCOPorganization supports the strong gun heritage that has existed in Wyoming for generations and continues to stress gun safety as a paramount tenet of gun ownership.
