Bureau of Land Management

Description

The BLM is interested in finding ways to manage public lands to sustain their use for public recreation, resource extraction, education, research, watershed protection, and other purposes. The BLM will provide to the recipient information on the locations of the parcels to be studied as well as background information that the BLM has collected on the parcels in the 1970s and in 2011. The recipient will develop a feasible study plan that will take into consideration the best times to visit each parcel, based on the presence of wetlands (which favor frozen-ground visits) and snowmobile trails (which favor winter visits). The recipient and the BLM will cooperatively accumulate data that will be useful to the study, and the recipient will conduct fieldwork and will analyze the data to identify potential climate-related disturbances and suggest management options to address those disturbances.
