Two public scoping meetings are planned where the public can visit with BLM specialists and participate in the discussion about the future of travel and recreational opportunities within this travel management area.
Meetings have been set for Jan. 14 at the Harding County Memorial REC Center at 204 Hodge Street in Buffalo and Jan. 15 at the Belle Fourche Community Hall at 512 6th Avenue. Both meetings will run 3 to 6 pm.
