BLM Finally Decides How to Manage Three-State Monument
Published Date: 1/17/2025
Notice
Summary
The Bureau of Land Management just finalized a new plan to take care of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument across Oregon, Washington, and California. This plan, effective immediately, guides how the land will be managed to protect nature while allowing public use. Local communities, visitors, and conservation groups will see changes in how the area is cared for, with no new costs announced right now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Record of Decision Effective Immediately
The Bureau of Land Management’s Record of Decision (ROD) for the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument was signed on January 7, 2025 and is effective immediately. The planning area is 170,407 acres and the BLM decision area is about 113,500 acres, including lands in Jackson and Klamath Counties in Oregon and Siskiyou County in California (about 5,000 acres are in the Redding Field Office in California).
New Management Direction: Protect, Restore, Limit Tools
The Approved Resource Management Plan emphasizes protecting and restoring the monument’s resources and promotes a moderate level of active management, while setting some limitations on management actions and tools. The plan does not carry forward any Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) or Research Natural Areas and will update existing management plans to align with current BLM policies and ensure legal mandates for designated features are addressed.
