BLM Projects

Over one third of Fremont County, about 2.1 million acres is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.  Of that, 3,538 acres, or .07%, are known to be infested with invasive plants (There are about 1,000 acres of BLM lands on the Lander Face infested with Leafy Spurge).  Weed and pest Districts were established in the State of Wyoming in 1972 for the express purpose on implementing and pursuing an effective program for the control of designated weeds and pests.  The current designated list contains 25 plant species and 6 pest species that are noted for their invasive life style. In an effort to manage these invasive plants and other pest species, BLM has contracted with Fremont County Weed and Pest Control District for weed and pest management services since 1980.
