    The BLM NEVADA NATIONAL LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION SYSTEM Strategy

    BLM The BLM NEVADA NATIONAL LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION SYSTEM Strategy i On March 30, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which states: “In order to conserve, protect, and restore nationally signifi cant landscapes that have outstanding cultural, ecological, and scientifi c values for the benefi t of current and future generations, there is established in the Bureau of Land Management the National Landscape Conservation System.” [Sec. 2002 (a)] “The Secretary shall manage the system in accordance with any applicable law (including regulations) relating to any component of the system…and in a manner that protects the values for which the components of the system were designated.” [Sec. 2002 (c)] High Rock, Black Rock National Conservation Area Photo by Brian Beffort Dear Friends of the BLM Nevada, I am pleased to share this new plan, our strategy for managing Nevada’s National Landscape Conservation System lands. These lands represent some of the most scenic, culturally rich, and scientifi cally important of all public lands in the State. BLM Nevada manages three national conservation areas: Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon, Red Rock Canyon and Sloan Canyon; 45 wilderness areas; 63 wilderness study areas and three national historic trails. We are committed to responsibly managing these lands and this strategy document is an important step towards achieving BLM Nevada’s goal of conserving these areas. We would like to thank all of the partners and BLM employees who help us manage these special conservation lands and have contributed to this document. We are also grateful to the many photographers who assisted us with artwork.

Inquires should be addressed to: 312 Montezuma Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501 The Shrinking Sagebrush Sea Executive Summary In the sagebrush lands of the West… the natural landscape is eloquent of the interplay of forces that have created it. It is spread before us like the pages of an open book in which we can read why the land is what it is and why we should preserve its integrity. But the pages lie unread. Rachel Carson ● Silent Spring (1962) Despite its size, the Sagebrush Sea (scientifically known as “sagebrush steppe”) is one of the most endangered landscapes in North America. The Sagebrush Sea has been reduced in area by as much as 50 percent since European settlement. Livestock grazing, natural gas and oil development, agricultural conversion, roads, fences, powerlines and pipelines, off-road vehicle use, urban sprawl, mining, unnatural fire, and invasive weeds are fragmenting or degrading much of what remains. Greater sage-grouse are a sagebrush obligate species whose range has been significantly reduced with the loss of sagebrush steppe.
