“It has been a decade since the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) initiated the revision of its land use plan for the Rock Springs region, and the plan is still years away from completion. This plan will guide all decisions for the 3.6 millions of acres of public land managed by the local BLM field office pertaining to recreation, wildlife habitat, energy development, grazing and many other land uses. This plan will also guide decisions for the Greater Little Mountain area – a place loved by hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreationists.”
“We appreciate all the hard work local BLM and WGFD staff and others have done to get us to where we are today, and we believe it is time to wrap this planning process up and get it over the finish line as expeditiously as possible.”
