Help influence how wildlife habitat and recreation are managed in the BLM Rock Springs Field Office

The Issue: The Bureau of Land Management is preparing a Resource Management Plan for the Rock Springs Field Office and they are asking for public input.

Background: This plan will determine the basis for how 3.6 acres million acres are managed for the next 10-20 years. It will guide decisions about wildlife habitat, access, mineral development, renewable energy, recreation, and more.

This region includes the following Hunt Areas:
  • Elk - 30, 31, 32, 98, 99, 100, 107, 124
  • Deer - 101, 102, 130, 131, 132, 138
  • Antelope - 58, 59, 90, 91, 92, 95, 96, 112
And recreation areas like:
  • Little Mountain
  • Western Red Desert
  • Jack Morrow Hills
  • Devil's Playground
The BLM is looking for your input to identify how you use the land, what you are concerned about, and what places are important to you.

WHAT YOU CAN TELL THE BLM:
  • Seek to find balanced solutions that ensure the area's great hunting and fishing is conserved for future generations.
  • Migration corridors for big game species is important for the BLM to identify and consider when managing this area on a field office scale.The same can be said for important fish habitats as well. 
  • Support responsible energy development, but that meas protections must be put in place to protect fish, wildlife and their habitat. This includes maintaining tracts of land for multiple use rather than industrial use.
