Rangelands and Grazing

In early February, 750 goats arrived in the Sacramento River Bend Area in California for a targeted grazing project to manage invasive weeds and other problem vegetation while improving access.

The Rangeland Stewardship and Rangeland Innovations awards recognize exemplary management and outstanding accomplishments in restoring and maintaining the health of public rangelands.

The BLM’s Hassayampa Field Office recently installed an innovative way to manage livestock on public lands and improve rangeland health while reducing staffing and supply costs related to fences on grazing allotments.

BLM Colorado is participating in a pilot program to explore approaches for authorizing and managing grazing use. Operators adjust herd movement and size based on year-to-year changes in moisture and growing conditions.

Bureau of Land Management’s Monticello Field Office partnered with Montezuma Creek Elementary School to host its second annual Junior Ranger Day.
