How can I meet with BLM staff to learn more about the draft management plan?

The BLM will host two RMP open house meetings. The purpose of these open houses is to provide the public with the opportunity to talk to BLM staff and learn about the draft RMP and how to provide comments:

Monday, June 17, 2013, 4:30 - 7:30 PM, Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, CO

Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 4:30 - 7:30 PM, Bill Heddles Recreation Center, Delta, CO

Once the RMP has been finalized (see the RMP background page for an overview of the planning process), it will guide the BLM's management of all facets of the D-E NCA for the next several decades. This includes land use decisions regarding biological resources, cultural resources, wilderness, recreation, travel management, livestock grazing, and special designations such as wild and scenic rivers.
