BLM Pinedale Postpones Wildlife Annual Planning Meeting
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Pinedale Anticline Project Office are postponing the Wildlife Annual Planning Meeting (APM) scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the BLM Pinedale Field Office.
An APM for wildlife was established in 2010 to coincide more closely with the availability of wildlife data and to allow for a deeper and more efficient discussion of wildlife issues. To ensure that all wildlife reports are available and technically accurate, the Wildlife APM will be postponed until the mule deer, pronghorn and sage-grouse reports are finalized.
For more information, please contact Eric Decker at 307-367-5386.
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.
