The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the applications for Colorado Rangeland Resource Management Program.
To better support land management decisions regarding grazing and other range management treatments, soils management, and invasive species, the BLM will place a priority on collecting data through the use of consistent, comparable, and common indicators, consistent methods, and an unbiased sampling framework which will allow for analyses that are repeatable and comparable across a region, and decisions based on science and data that are legally defensible. Land health assessments completed at a larger scale will be more efficient and less costly over time and provide timely support for decision-making.
The Rangeland Management program conducts inventories, assessments and evaluations of soil and vegetation conditions and land health. Monitoring data is collected and analyzed to ensure progress toward meeting land health standards.
Program Strategic Goals
- Gathering data to complete land health assessments.
- Processing grazing permits for identified high priority areas.
- Increased efforts to coordinate shared objectives with wildlife, forestry, aquatic, and cultural and recreation programs, to effectively maintain or restore land health.
- Evaluate multiple allotments together or at the watershed scale to improve efficiencies for evaluating land health and processing permits.
- Continue to work with permittees and other stakeholders on targeted grazing to decrease fuel loads and restore desirable perennial grasses and forbs.
- Implement outcome based grazing with collaborative monitoring with stakeholders to increase flexibility and improve efficiencies.
