NORWOOD, Colo. - The Bureau of Land Management’s Uncompahgre Field Office is extending the public comment period for the preliminary Norwood-Burn Canyon Comprehensive Travel Management Plan Environmental Assessment due to technical difficulties associated with the project email address.

Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO 81401.

The preliminary EA analyzes four alternatives for an interconnecting trail system on about 9,850 acres of public land managed by the BLM about three miles west of Norwood, Colo.
