The National Park Service (NPS) is inviting public feedback on a new Grazing Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (GrMP/EA). This plan pertains to two sites: the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and the Curecanti National Recreation Area. The move is in line with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which mandates public involvement in decisions that could impact the environment.
The NPS is keen on obtaining a wide array of opinions, ideas, and feedback on the current grazing management strategies at these locations. The public’s input is seen as an essential part of the decision-making process, shaping the direction of the GrMP/EA. The NPS encourages all interested parties to provide their thoughts and suggestions.
The public can access the full details of the proposed GrMP/EA on the NPS website. The website also provides information on how to submit feedback. The NPS emphasizes the importance of public participation in preserving and managing the natural and cultural resources within the national parks and recreation areas.
