Did you know that nearly half of the land of Wyoming belongs to the federal government? In fact, there are three national forests, a large amount of grassland, and many other large swaths of "public" land in Wyoming. Its famous national parks are administered by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. The state also contains the Devils Tower National Monument, the first national monument in the United States. The state is also the least populated of the contiguous 48 states. Although it is the 10th largest state by area, it is also the least populated. Unlike Rhode Island, which is 1,212 square miles and home to more than a million people, Wyoming is far less densely populated than its neighbors. But that's not to say Wyoming isn't full of interesting facts. In fact, many of the most fascinating facts about Wyoming are about the state's diverse wildlife. Cheyenne is the capital and largest city of Wyoming, located in the southeastern corner. The state is home to the famous Yellowstone National Park, which is the country's highest peak. At 6063 feet above sea level, Cheyenne is the 2nd highest capital in the US. Only Santa Fe, New Mexico, is higher. The state's original inhabitants were Native American tribes, which are now recognized by the federal government.
Excerpt from National Forests of Wyoming Medicine Bow National Forest keep in operation a large treating plant in Laramie.

An approach for synthesizing the results of ecological research pertinent to land management is the analysis of the historic range of variability (HRV) for key ecosystem variables that are affected by management activities. This report provides an HRV analysis for the upland vegetation of the Bighorn National Forest in northcentral Wyoming. The variables include live tree density, dead tree (snag) density, canopy cover, abundance of coarse woody debris, species diversity, fire return intervals, the abundance of various diseases, the proportion of the landscape in different land cover types, and the degree of patchiness in the landscape. The variables were examined at the stand and landscape scales, using information available in the literature and USFS databases. High-elevation landscapes were considered separately from low-elevation landscapes. Much of the report pertains to forests dominated by lodge-pole pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce at high elevations, and by ponderosa pine, aspen, and Douglas-fir at lower elevations. We defined the HRV reference period for the BNF as approximately 1600 to 1890.
