Short Description of Activity
Aldo’s Silver City Broadband wrote a letter to BLM in response to their request for early input into the creation of a Recreation Area Management Plan (RAMP) to better help manage the recreation resources in the Gila Lower Box area. The draft Environmental Assessment provides a good overview of the recreational and environmental resources in the area, and the three action alternatives that BLM developed. We recommended Alternative B (Proposed RAMP) provides additional primitive recreation development that could decrease impacts from uncontrolled dispersed camping, and protects natural resources, especially the Gila’s immensely important riparian corridors.
