LABARGE, WYOMING — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming Pinedale Field Office is proud to announce the successful removal of the Wildcat Canyon Dam, marking a significant step forward in environmental conservation and ecosystem restoration efforts. The removal of this structure marks a major milestone in rejuvenating local habitats and natural processes. Wildcat Canyon is located near the town of LaBarge.

"This project is a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship," said Pinedale Field Manager Stewart Cogswell. "By removing the Wildcat Canyon Stock Pond Dam and restoring the landscape, we are revitalizing a critical ecosystem that will support and contribute to long-term ecological health."

The removal and restoration efforts, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, align with the broader goal of enhancing water quality, bolstering flood resilience, and supporting vegetative and wildlife communities.
