(Ashland, OR) -- The Bureau of Land Management is proposing a new plan to protect the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument near Ashland. The BLM issued a news release saying it worked with tribal leaders as well as communities, local governments and other partners to develop a plan that reflects shared values and effective conservation. The plan would work to protect the monument's biodiversity and support its resources while allowing for public access and recreation. The plan will enter a 30-day protest period to allow for public comment starting today and ending November 12th.
