BLM to Host Bridge Creek Area Allotment Management Plans Public Meeting
Event Description
Hines, Ore. -- The Bureau of Land Management invites you to share your thoughts about the draft Environmental Impact Statement for Allotment Management Plans in the Bridge Creek Area on north Steens Mountain. A virtual public meeting to share information, hear comments, and answer questions is set for February 13, 2025, at 5 p.m. PST.
The Bridge Creek Area Allotment Management Plans EIS analyzes several alternatives for livestock management and related actions across 26,378 acres in southeastern Oregon near the town of Frenchglen. The alternatives will consider issuance of 10-year grazing permits to up to three applicants for grazing preference, and approval of four AMPs that outline seasonal grazing systems, grazing utilization thresholds, monitoring, and range developments.
