April 25: BLM to host virtual public meeting about sage-grouse management on public lands
Event Description
The latest science shows that Greater sage-grouse numbers continue to decline, and BLM has proposed a range of options for protecting its habitat on public lands.
Join us for a virtual public meeting to learn more about these alternatives and the new science we’ve considered in developing them: Thursday, Apr. 25, 4 – 6pm Mountain Time. We’ll answer questions after an introductory presentation. Pre-register at this Zoom link.
Learn about BLM’s proposals for strong, balanced management of Greater sage-grouse habitat on public lands in the draft environmental impact statement.
The comment period on proposed plans is open through June 13, 2024. Your involvement and feedback will inform the final environmental analysis and help us reach the best decisions about conserving sage-grouse habitat and sustaining wildlife for the future.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
