BLM

Paul Grimstad writes, "His bill would put every acre of available (but not necessarily suitable) public land up for leasing by private companies four times a year. Thaatʼs 200 million acres, nearly 85% of all BLM lands in the West."

The Bureau of Land Management wants to log and burn thousands of acres in the Garnet Range east of Missoula, but environmental groups are asking a judge to pause the project while evaluating the BLM’s decision.

A coalition of environmental groups have asked to intervene in a lawsuit brought by three western states to stop the Bureau of Land Management from setting aside federal land for conservation.

The number of wild horses in three Utah counties is more than double what the Bureau of Land Management deems appropriate.

Rob Thomas writes, "The BLM's oil and gas rule reflects the public's desire for a balanced approach to public lands management – one that prioritizes both economic opportunity and conserves our outdoor heritage."

The BLM can lease land for conservation and restoration purposes, not just for mining, drilling and grazing.

Becky Edwards and Jen Clanahan write, "Recognizing that we are at a pivotal point in time where we must preserve, protect and properly manage our public lands, the new rule will bring balance to how we do that now and how we plan to pass these treasured lands to future generations."

Elected officials in the Beehive State are voicing their opposition to a new rule from the Bureau of Land Management, vowing to fight it in both Congress and the courts.

Mike Garrity writes, "No matter what election-year fiction Stone-Manning spreads about the great success of the collaborators' plan, the reality is that sage grouse are staring extinction in the face."

Three things are pushing the U.S. Bureau of Land Management director to get a lot done by the end of this year: the effects of climate change, the needs of future generations, and the end of President Joe Biden’s first term
