Important BLM Meeting
Posted: January 29th, 2009, 12:38 amIf you live, and travel off road in Kern County, I
advise you to attend one of these meetings. The people trying to
close all access to public lands will be involved - your voice needs
to be heard too. Thanks to John Martin of the Palmdale Club for the
heads up.
The Bureau of Land Management's Bakersfield Field Office will host
two public workshops in February to discuss travel management for the
BLM's Bakersfield Resource Management Plan. The workshops will be
held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the following locations:
Lake Isabella - February 25, Lake Isabella Moose Lodge, 6732 Lake
Isabella Blvd.
Taft - February 26, Taft Union High School, 701 7th St.
"We're asking the public to comment on the route inventory, to ensure
it is an accurate representation of all routes on the ground within
the planning area." said Peter DeWitt, BLM recreation
planner. "Comments on specific routes are encouraged and
identification of anything missing is vital to getting a complete
inventory for the route designation process."
Route inventory maps will be available for the public to review at
the meetings. After a short presentation about the travel management
process, the public will be given time to study these maps and
provide written comments. BLM staff will be on hand to help interpret
the maps. BLM also will accept written comments by mail to allow
interested parties more time to look over the inventory maps. All
written comments on the route inventory will need to be received by
March 13 to be incorporated into the comment database.
For further information on travel management within the Bakersfield
Field Office and the public workshops, or the resource management
planning process, contact DeWitt at (661) 391-6120
