Kirk Casavan (541)440-4930 BLM Hosting Workshop on Resource Management Plan Revisions
Roseburg, OR – People interested in the future management of Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) lands in western Oregon will have a chance to share their input at a BLM hosted
workshop in Roseburg on March 8.
The BLM is in the process of revising the six resource management plans for its western
Oregon Districts, including the Roseburg District. Plan revisions are expected to be completed in
2008. The workshop will be an opportunity for the public to learn about the range of
management alternatives being considered in the revisions, ask questions of the planning team,
and provide feedback on the alternatives.
The workshop is planned for Wednesday, March 8th from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the
Roseburg District Office at 777 Garden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg.
In January 2006, a document was released to the public that provides a brief description
of the management alternatives, as well as describing the planning process and the goals of the
plan revision. This document, entitled “Planning Criteria and State Director Guidance,” and its
contents will form the basis for discussions at next week’s workshop. Written comments on the
document will also be accepted until March 17, 2006.
Additional information on the plan revision process and copies of the planning
documents are available online at http://www.blm.gov/or/plans/wopr. For additional information
of the upcoming meeting or other questions, contact Kirk Casavan at 541-440-4930.
