BLM to Revise Baker Resource Area Resource Management Plan for OR & WA
BLM’s Baker Field Office has published a notice of intent to revise the Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Baker Resource Area of the Vale District with an associated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The planning area encompasses approximately 423,000 acres in Baker, Union, Wallowa, Morrow, and Umatilla Counties in Oregon and in Asotin County, Washington. BLM has identified public access and OHV management among the specific issues relevant to the initial scoping phase of the RMP revision. BLM will seek to identify where better access is warranted, where it should remain the same, and where it should be restricted. Public scoping meetings will subsequently be scheduled to discuss these issues.
Comments regarding the scope of the RMP revision will be accepted until 30 days after the last public scoping meeting. Click here to view a list of scheduled open house scoping meetings. Comments may be submitted by email to bakerrmp@blm.gov, by fax to 541-523-1965, or by mail to:
Bureau of Land Management

Group seeks volunteers to clean up timberlands
OLYMPIA - Members of the Eyes in the Woods organization will be clearing litter from private timberlands in western Washington this month, and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is encouraging hunters to lend a hand.
Eyes in the Woods, a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to fish and wildlife stewardship, is sponsoring clean-up events in the following areas:
Olympic Peninsula: Participants will meet at 9 a.m. June 21 at the WDFW Region 6 Office, 48 Devonshire Rd. in Montesano. The clean-up effort, focusing on timberlands managed by Weyerhaeuser and the Campbell Group, will continue until 6 p.m.
Mount St. Helens: Participants will meet at 9 a.m. at Drews Grocery on State Route 504 in Toutle. The clean-up effort will focus on Weyerhaeuser’s Mount St. Helens Tree Farm and will continue until 6 p.m.
For contact information about these events, see the Eyes in the Woods website at http://eitw.us/boscal/calendar.php or call (360) 480-6689.
Dave Ware, WDFW game manager, said Eyes in the Woods volunteers play an important role in wildlife management by monitoring hunter activity, staffing check stations, posting signs and assisting the department in a variety of other ways.
The upcoming clean-up effort is another example of those efforts, Ware said.
"Access to private lands is a major issue for hunters and this department," Ware said. "This is a way for hunters to show their appreciation for landowners who open their lands for outdoor recreation."
