The BLM Announces Recreation Assessment & Travel Management Workshops
January 9th, 2009
BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, The BLM Announces Recreation Assessment & Travel Management Workshops The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting public recreation and travel management workshops as part of the Bighorn Basin Resource Management Plan (RMP) Revision Project. In particular, BLM managers are interested in hearing how, where, and why people access and use public lands. This includes commercial access for grazing, oil and gas development and mining, as well as recreational access for hunting, ATV use, hiking, biking, skiing, etc. Public input will assist in prioritizing areas for BLM management and land use allocations. The date, time and location of upcoming recreation and travel management workshops are listed below. Monday, January 12, 2009 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 13, 2009 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 14, 2009 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Friday, January 16, 2009 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. The workshops will be informal open houses. The BLM will provide a questionnaire that will take approximately 30 minutes to complete at the workshops and maps will be available to help facilitate discussions and written comments. For more information about the workshops, the Bighorn Basin RMP, or the revision process, please contact Caleb Hiner, RMP Project Lead, at (307) 347-5100 or by email at BBRMP_WYMail@blm.gov. JUST REMEMBER, PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IS CRUCIAL TO KEEP RECREATION AREAS OPEN, PLEASE GET INVOLVED! Thanks in advance for your support, |
