>The federal Bureau of Land Management is starting a management plan 
>process that will affect a huge chunk of land in interior Alaska. 
>Many land and water trails could be affected by this process, so 
>concerned trail users should stay informed.
>               The Resource Management Plan (RMP) is being overseen 
> by the BLM-Alaska Eastern Interior Field Office. The plan will 
> provide long-range management direction for about 8 million acres 
> of public land in eastern Alaska administered by BLM. This area 
> includes the Steese National Conservation Area, the White Mountains 
> National Recreation Area, the Fortymile and Upper Black river 
> areas. The plan will identify what lands are open or closed to 
> certain uses, including trail use.
>               BLM will hold public meetings between April and June 
> in a number of communities to explain the planning process and to 
> hear from the public what issues and concerns BLM should address in 
> the RMP. Public input is important and necessary to ensure that all 
> issues and concerns for these areas are discussed and addressed. 
> BLM (<http://www.blm.gov/ak>www.blm.gov/ak) will have a web site 
> link soon for this plan or check local sources for meeting schedules.
>Email comments are welcome 
>(<mailto:EIRMP_comment at blm.gov>EIRMP_comment at blm.gov) and additional 
>information may be obtained from Jeanie Cole, planning team leader, 
>at 907/474-2340.
