Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue and Governor Mark Gordon visit an open pit coal mine, in the Thunder Basin National Grassland, near Wright, Wyoming, on July 29, 2019. Mined and reclaimed or unmined land can be used traditionally. Environmental specialists work with landowners, state and federal officials and other interested parties to determine the most desirable use of the land. Reclaimed land can be used for farming, grazing, commercial forestry, fish and wildlife habitat, economic development projects, and recreational activities like hunting, fishing and golfing.
