Greater Red
Desert
WWF pays close attention to a landscape in
the northern Red Desert, called the Jack Morrow
Hills (JMH). the JMH makes up about 622,000
acres and is home to a myriad of wildlife - a
rare desert elk herd, mule deer, antelope,
ferruginous hawks, horny toad and sage grouse
to name a few. The area has many qualities as
shown in the map below.
If you haven't had the opportunity to visit this outstanding place in the northern Red Desert, take some time and enjoy the wide open spaces. From migrating sand dunes to old volcanic tubes, the Jack Morrow Hills is a genuine Wyoming landscape you shouldn't miss. The BLM's land use management plan for the area was provided in June 2006. The plan calls for an additional 255 natural gas wells. WWF is watching this and thus far no real development has taken place as of February 2010.
To give you some perspective on the location, please see the map below.
