Restoring Wyoming’s largest 2026 fire scar, one sagebrush seedling at a time

SOUTH PASS — Terrestrial habitat biologist Amy Anderson sounded pleased Thursday about the “huge, communitywide effort” to help the Wind River Range foothills recover from a wildfire that almost completely wiped out 25 square miles of the sagebrush ecosystem in a blink last August. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department staffer also saw some promising ecological signs. The landscape surrounding her was impressively green, the result of drenching and welcomed rains that coaxed native wheatgrass and native wildflowers like prairie smoke and western yarrow into sprouting in October. Although optimistic, Anderson was also a realist about the immense challenge the area faces. For shrub-dependent species like sage grouse, the Weiser Knoll Fire caused almost total habitat loss, she said. Three known lekking grounds, where the birds mate, burned up. “We’re doing our best,” Anderson said. “But it’s going to be a long road to get this back to serviceable habitat.” On the scale of wildfires across the West, Anderson said she knows Weiser Knoll was “small potatoes.” Still, it was a crushing blow to the native flora and fauna in this little corner of the southern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. “It’s devastating,” Anderson said. “This was a lot of really productive
