Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse

the long version

This draft land use plan amendment and environmental impact statement has been prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service with assistance from 25 cooperating agencies. It describes and analyzes six alternatives for managing approximately 17.7 million acres of BLM- and Forest Service-administered lands in Nevada and Northeast California. The alternatives present a range of management actions to achieve the goal of Greater Sage-Grouse conservation for the Nevada and Northeast California sub-region. Major planning issues addressed in the document correspond with threats identified in a report by the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Sage Grouse Conservation Objective Team; these include wildland fire management, livestock grazing, vegetation management, and lands and realty actions.
