Fortification Range, Parsnip Peak, White Rock Range Wilderness Plan Available

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely District is making available to the public the Fortification Range, Parsnip Peak, White Rock Range Final Wilderness Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA).

The 10-year plan provides primary management guidance for the Fortification Range, Parsnip Peak and White Rock Range wilderness areas.  The three wilderness areas were addressed in a single management plan because of their proximity and similar management issues.

The plan and EA are available on the BLM Ely District website.  Visit www.blm.gov/nv/ and click on the Ely District.  Paper copies are available at the BLM Ely District Office, at 702 N. Industrial Way, in Ely, Nev., and BLM Caliente Field Office, at 1400 S. Front Street, in Caliente, Nev. 

For more information, contact Dave Jacobson, BLM Ely District wilderness planner, at (775) 289-1800 or dave_jacobson@nv.blm.gov.
