CHEYENNE – As part of its commitment to supporting healthy, productive public lands through shared conservation stewardship, the Wyoming state office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will host two meetings to engage the public in the land use planning process for the management of Greater Sage-grouse habitat.
The first meeting will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Nov. 6 at the Little America Hotel and Conference Center in Cheyenne. The second meeting will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the BLM Field Office in Pinedale.
On Oct. 11, BLM issued a Notice of Intent initiating a 45-day public scoping period to solicit input on the current management of Greater Sage-grouse and the need for plan amendments with associated National Environmental Policy Act documents. BLM Wyoming may consider amendments to current management actions for Greater Sage-grouse in land use plans. Additional information about the open public comment period is available at: https://goo.gl/7wdKmM.
The public is encouraged to help identify any issues, management questions, or concerns that should be addressed in the potential plan amendment(s) to help improve Greater Sage-grouse conservation, and to strengthen communication and collaboration between the states and the federal government. The public scoping meeting provides the public an opportunity to talk to resource specialists and to submit written comments in person. Comments may also be submitted to blm_sagegrouseplanning@blm.gov until Nov. 27.
