Oregon ranchers, tribes, and conservation groups would get new land management rules in Malheur County.
This bill would set up new rules for managing federal land in Malheur County, Oregon. It would give local ranchers more flexibility for grazing and designate new wilderness and special management areas. It would also transfer about 30,734 acres of federal and private land to be held in trust for the Burns Paiute Tribe.
Today, federal lands in Malheur County, Oregon, are managed under existing Bureau of Land Management rules, with specific processes for grazing permits and land use. After this bill, ranchers would have more direct flexibility in their grazing operations, and a local group would help guide land management projects. Large areas of federal land would be formally designated as wilderness or special management areas. Also, about 30,734 acres of federal and private land would be transferred into trust for the Burns Paiute Tribe. These changes would alter how these specific lands are managed and accessed.
