The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Royal Gorge Field Office seeks public comment on the Environmental Assessment of the Chaffee County Camping and Travel Management Plan.
The public can submit comments through ePlanning until October 8, 2022. The most valuable comments will provide BLM with input to improve the analysis and ensure that impacts are adequately determined before BLM makes a final decision on a proposed management effort.

“We’ve had great feedback so far on how to best manage the recent changes in our recreational use,” said Keith Berger, Royal Gorge Field Office Manager. “We think we have a great plan that meets the multi-use mandate while still providing a quality camping experience for public land visitors.”
An environmental assessment is prepared for the proposed management plan to determine the significance of environmental impacts and provide a basis for rational decision-making. The assessment includes a variety of options for managing camping and motoring on approximately 38,000 acres of BLM-managed land in Chaffee County.
This proposed management plan and associated analysis will allow the BLM to manage camping and recreation areas to provide a safe, enjoyable experience for visitors.
The BLM initiated this effort to foster cooperation and coordination with local communities based on concerns identified by BLM resource specialists, public land users, and neighbors for public lands. More information is available at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2012291/510.
