Short Description of Activity
Overview and discussion around the subject of retiring grazing permits/allotments.
Reflection/Evaluation
Good to hear about various states working on this idea. Also today, heard about a judge in Idaho who stopped the BLM tripling up on a grazing allotment in the Owhyee Wilderness. Yeah, a win. Hart Mountain was another area mentioned regarding retiring grazing. Suggestion is when commenting on RMP, to request that there is buyout language in those plans.
