Title

Proposal to Amend the Redding Resource Management Plan Regarding the Horseshoe Ranch Wildlife Area

Description

Following BLM's decision to consider amending the RMP boundary for the HRWA, BLM received over 1600 comments from agencies, organizations and individuals covering a broad spectrum of concerns including land exchanges, perceived loss of tax base, a lack of adequate environmental protection, threats to local ranching practices and a general distrust of government. On one hand are those who wish less government presence in Siskiyou County. On the other hand are those who want to see BLM implement the land use management decisions of the RMP including the acquisition of private parcels, willingly offered, within the boundary of the HRWA. Some even suggested that BLM increase the size of the HRWA to include sensitive areas adjoining the management area (as designated in the 1993 RMP).
