Summary: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is preparing an Integrated Vegetation Management Programmatic (IVMP) Environmental Assessment for Medford District BLM lands. The proposed project would lie within the Medford District which covers approximately 860,000 acres. The primary purpose of using this Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) approach is to develop a program of work that first, contributes to healthy and resilient forest landscapes and species conservation, and secondarily provides a variety of forest products to contribute to the sustainability of local communities and industries. To achieve these goals, the District has embarked on a District-wide environmental assessment of IVM that will utilize multiple contract and sales options, including timber sales, stewardship and service contracts, and other agreements. It is anticipated that integrated vegetation management treatments could occur on up to 5,000 acres each year for the next five (5) years.
