Recent News The Healthy Lands Initiative represents a new concept for meeting emerging challenges in managing natural resources with flexible, landscape-level approaches for continued multiple use. The President’s 2008 budget requests a substantial increase of $15 million in funding for the BLM to begin implementing the Initiative in six specific geographic areas to demonstrate the new approach. Projects will be located in New Mexico ($3.5 million), Wyoming ($4.5 million), Utah ($2.0 million), Oregon/Idaho/Nevada ($1.9 million), southern Idaho ($1.8 million) and Colorado ($1.3 million). Projects include landscape-scale efforts such as restoration of habitat, weed management, and improvement of riparian areas. The BLM has prepared 2-page fact sheets on each of the projects in the Initiative, as well as a National fact sheet. Each includes maps and details on the region, as well as funding plans.
