LAKEWOOD, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management is now seeking comments on proposed statewide supplementary rules designed to increase and sustain the quality of public lands and recreation by reducing resource damage and risks to public health and safety. The proposed supplementary rules will apply to all public lands and BLM facilities in Colorado.
The proposed rules address general conduct on Colorado’s public lands and BLM facilities; exploding targets, flammable devices and target shooting on public lands; regulations for outfitters operating on public lands; the use of mechanized vehicles off designated routes in Wilderness Study Areas; and burning wood with staples or nails on public lands. The BLM developed these rules in consultation with the Shooting Sports Roundtable.
