Wyoming State Report
January 8-9, 2007, Albuquerque, NM

1. A comprehensive survey of off-road vehicle use in Wyoming
This study was completed for the Wyoming State Trails Program (a unit of the State of Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources). The study used a survey of 1,900 ORV users in Wyoming (resident and non-resident) to estimate numbers, location and frequency of use, and economic impact of ORVs. Most of this use occurs on Federally managed land in Wyoming, primarily U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. This was a first of its kind study for Wyoming that will help the state better understand, plan for and manage ORVs.

2. Wyomings exurban landowners survey
Two survey instruments was used: 1) to gain an understanding of the values, goals, and knowledge that exurban landowners within Wyoming hold regarding land management and 2) to deduce how natural resource advisors (CES, NRCS, Conservation Districts, Weed & Pest, and State Forestry) view exurban landowners. The surveys was sent to 4,800 exurban landowners in six Wyoming counties and all natural resource advisors in the state. Results from the two surveys will be used to identify the needs of exurban landowners and to expand programs to help exurban landowners manage their land.

3. PILT fact sheets.
Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) are an important source of revenue from the Federal government for county government in Wyoming. To assist in the understanding of these payments a set of fact sheets have been developed annually for the last eight years. These fact sheets summarized the PILT calculations for each county in Wyoming.

4. Economic analysis for the revised forest plan for the Shoshone National Forest.
Members of the group have begun working on an economic analysis for the Shoshone National Forest. This information will be used in the development of a revised management plan for the Forest. This project is being funded by the Governors State Planning Office.

5. Economic analysis for the revised forest plan for the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Similarly, work has just started on an economic analysis for the Bridger-Teton National Forest. This information will be used in the development of a revised management plan for the Forest. This project is proving to be more challenging due to gas development in a more environmentally sensitive area. This project is also being funded by the Governors State Planning Office.

6. Bureau of Land Management
" An economic impact analysis was completed for the BLMs Moxa Arch EIS in southwestern Wyoming. This information will be used in developing the management plan for the Moxa Arch natural gas field.
" An economic impact analysis was completed for the supplement EIS for the Pinedale Anticline Production Area in Western Wyoming. This information will be used in developing drilling decisions in this large gas field.
" An economic impact analysis is ongoing for the BLMs Hiawatha EIS in southern Wyoming and northern Colorado. This information will be used in developing the management plan for the Hiawatha natural gas field.
" Advisory Committee  Cumulative Social and Economic Effects, Powder River Basin Coal Review.
" Along with faculty from four other land grant institutions in the West, members of the group are working on a national assessment of the BLMs capacity to use social and economic analysis in the their planning efforts. This initiative involves several members of the W-1192 Regional Research Project and is being funded by the BLM.

7. Bighorn National Recreation Area
An economic analysis of the impacts of the Bighorn National Recreation Area on Big Horn County was developed at the request of local officials in Big Horn County. The analysis has been used by Big Horn County and Representative Cubin in discussions with the Bureau of Reclamation and the State of Montana regarding the management of Yellowtail Dam.

8. Colorado oil and gas study
Economic impact and fiscal analysis of the oil and gas industry in Colorado for the Colorado School of Mines Colorado Energy Research Institute.
