BLM monitoring drought impacts, assessing changes in use
SUSANVILLE, Calif. – With drought impacts expected to intensify over the coming summer and fall months in California, resource management specialists in northeast California’s high desert rangelands will be paying close attention to conditions, including plant health and water availability, to determine if changes in land uses will be necessary.
In an initial action for this effort, BLM managers in Susanville and Alturas have advised public land ranchers that many reservoirs are already dry, spring flows are lower than normal, and forage production is well below normal on public ranges. Ranchers who hold permits to graze cattle and sheep on BLM-managed public ranges have been advised that range conditions might not support their normal numbers of livestock, and that early removal of cattle and sheep from public ranges might be necessary.
