Sublette Local Area Working Group
ABOUT
Governor Gordon appointed members to the Sublette Mule Deer Local Area Working Group in consultation with County Commissioners. The charge for this group was to make recommendations about additional opportunities for conservation as well as to examine the impacts of all restrictions on development and use of lands encompassed in the designated Sublette Mule Deer Migration Corridor.
It was a limited-duration working group that met twice in person during Summer 2021. At the culmination of the process, the group summarized its recommendations for Governor Gordon's consideration in a final report (see below).
