PAPO Seeks Proposals for Mesa Fertilization Monitoring
The Pinedale Anticline Project Office (PAPO) is accepting proposals to collect and evaluate the vegetative effects of fertilization projects on the Mesa mule deer winter range south of Pinedale, Wyo.
Two Mesa sites have been fertilized: 468 acres in 2010 and 1,000 acres in 2011. Existing PAPO data on these sites will be available to the successful project proponent.
Proposals should include the data collection field seasons of 2012 and 2013. Project proponents must be capable of evaluating the statistical significance of shrub and herbaceous production and changes in vegetation composition as well as canopy and ground cover.
Proposals must be delivered or mailed to 1625 W. Pine St., P.O. Box 768, Pinedale, WY 82941 or emailed to dostroud@blm.gov no later than Monday, Jan. 30.
The PAPO, for any reason, can reject any or all submitted proposals. Any proposal considered for funding by the PAPO must be approved by the PAPO Board.
For more information, please contact Dan Stroud at 307-367-5387.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
