The Public Lands Council supports them.
The ranching advocacy group stated in a May 12 news release that the reforms were a clear signal of BLM’s commitment to restoring effective multiple-use management, which is not true.
The update would reduce the uses of public lands identified for grazing, limiting them to production-oriented livestock.
There would be no opportunities for conversion of allotments to wild animal preserves, a practice that has already been demonstrated in Montana, Nevada and Colorado.
If multiple use was really the goal, the rules would not only accommodate allotment repurposing but encourage it, at great savings to American taxpayers.
You can comment on the proposed changes at the Federal Register.
