Letter: Exercise your role to protect the Red Desert

Dear Editor,

I grew up in a small town in Nebraska and now live in Laramie. After working summers in Grand Teton National Park, the wildness in Wyoming greatly influenced me to stay in this wonderful state.

I have travelled extensively throughout the country as a tour guide and as a national park employee at three parks. There is something extremely special about the West, and especially Wyoming. The ability to escape to the backcountry and connect with the natural beauty of this state is something that I truly treasure.

I have become particularly fond of the Red Desert’s wilderness study...
