Draft Table Rocks Management Plan
Available for Public Comment
The Butte Falls Resource Area, Medford District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is
requesting public comments on the draft Table Rocks Management Plan. The BLM is developing
a cooperative management plan with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) that considers a variety of
habitat enhancement activities to protect sensitive resources while allowing responsible and
compatible recreational and environmental educational uses. The management plan covers about
4,870 acres of land on Upper and Lower Table Rocks managed by the BLM and TNC.
Management recommendations and project proposals include habitat restoration treatments;
removing or decommissioning structures or roads that are causing resource damage; trail
improvements and signing to protect special plant and wildlife species; additional trail and
interpretive facilities emphasizing tribal partnerships and Camp White history; and establishing
consistent visitor use regulations for both BLM and TNC. “We look forward to working with our
partners and the public on the long term management of the Table Rocks, for habitat enhancement
while promoting recreation and environmental education.” Jon Raby, Field Manager, Butte Falls
Resource Area, Medford District.
The BLM would like to hear any comments, issues, and concerns you have that would help shape
or further develop the management plan. The draft plan is available for review on the Medford
District website http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/medford/plans/index.php. Please send written
comments by August 31, 2012 to BLM, Medford District, Butte Falls Resource Area, 3040 Biddle
Road, Medford, Oregon 97504, or e-mail to [email protected]. Questions and
comments on the Draft Table Rocks Management Plan should be directed to Trish Lindaman at
