This document serves as guidance on managing, restoring and enhancing sagebrush habitat on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This guidance only applies until BLM State or local-level guidance is developed, or until specific sage-grouse conservation measures are incorporated into BLM land use plans. In July 2000, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Forest Service (FS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and BLM. This MOU established state wildlife agencies as the lead for state and local conservation planning efforts for sage-grouse. In July 2002, WAFWA approved a proposal to develop a Conservation Assessment (CA) for sage-grouse and sage-grouse habitat to be completed in two distinct phases.

This book reviews the consideration of oil and gas leasing in the land use planning processes of the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service. This volume was required by the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act of 1987. It identifies problems in land use planning that are caused by current leasing practices and the availability and reliability of information at the planning stage, and makes recommendations that address the interrelation between oil and gas leasing decisions and the land use planning process for federal lands.
This publication presents an overview of the archaeology of the Central High Plains. The volume provides baseline information about the archaeology of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Canon City [Colorado] District, the V.S.D.A. Forest Service's Regions II and III and the BLM's Albuquerque [New Mexico] District. This work describes the archaeology of portions of five states and represents a large geographic area ranging from the Continental Divide to the plains of Kansas and Nebraska. A major feature of this work is the fact that it is one of the first such projects that was jointly prepared by the BLM and the Forest Service. Because much of the land managed by these two agencies is adjoining or is in the same geographic region, it was logical to create a document that both groups could use. The Forest Service and BLM also agreed that this database should cover two BLM states and two Forest Service regions, again making this project one of the first of its kind. One of the primary objectives of both the BLM and the Forest Service is to study and, as needed, preserve significant cultural resources located on public lands, Evidences of our past cover large areas of the national forests and the public domain, In order to provide for the orderly and careful evaluation of these places, this baseline narrative gives our specialists and our managers information by which to wisely conserve our national cultural heritage. This volume will provide our managers and the professional community with a study that should become the standard reference for this region.
