In June of 2022, the Greater Little Mountain Coalition participated in an event with EcoFlight. The event took local decision-makers from Sweetwater County and members of Wyoming Game and Fish into the air and offered a once-in-a-lifetime view of the majesty of southwest Wyoming’s crown jewel, the Greater Little Mountain Area.
The BLM remains in the process of revising the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan, which includes the Greater Little Mountain Area (GLMA). The plan is expected to be released in the next year, followed by an important public comment period. The Greater Little Mountain Coalition is calling on the BLM to conserve critical habitat while allowing responsible development in specific areas so that the GLMA's irreplaceable fish and wildlife heritage is preserved for generations to come.
The 522,236 acres of pristine public lands that make up the GLMA support trophy big game animals and healthy native fish populations. With remote country consisting of sprawling aspen groves, pine forests, and red-striped badlands, the area offers some of the most sought-after hunting areas for mule deer and elk, as well as world-renowned cutthroat trout fishing. The large intact tracts of prime fish and wildlife habitat are some of the most sensitive habitats in Wyoming.
The Greater Little Mountain Coalition is grateful for the support of EcoFlight in offering a unique and memorable experience of the Greater Little Mountain area to stakeholders, local decision-makers, and agency officials.
