Alaska BLM to Amend Kobuk Seward Peninsula Land Use Plan
Dear BRC Members and supporters in Alaska,
We wanted to pass along a land use bulletin sent this morning by the folks over at the United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA). The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has just announced they will amend their Kobuk-Seward Peninsula Resource Management Plan (KSP/RMP) to address recreation decisions and travel management decisions for the Squirrel River Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA).
There is more information in the bulletin, which is pasted below and available on UFWDA’s webpage.
Keep up to date on this and other OHV issues by subscribing to UFWDA’s Land Use Bulletin email list.
As always, call or email if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks in advance for your involvement,
Ric Foster
Public Lands Department Manager
