The Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming and the United States Geological Survey (USGS)
invite you to one of attend three training sessions to introduce the field staff and other
stakeholders to the Wyoming Basins REA and to the web based Project Screening Tool that has
been developed as part of this project.
Attendees are encouraged to bring laptop computers, so they can access the USGS Wyoming
Basins REA website for the Project Screening Tool, associated REA documents, and GIS based
exercises. Laptops brought to the training need to have the ARCGIS 10.1 suite with the ArcMap
10.1 module preloaded. The laptop computers must also have the wireless internet connection

served basis.
