Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument
Project Information
Project Description
On July 10, 2015, the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument (Monument) was established by Presidential Proclamation. This monument contains approximately 133,566 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managed lands and 197,214 acres of Mendocino National Forest managed lands, totaling approximately 330,780 acres. The proclamation lists numerous objects of interest and values that warrant protection including tribal, cultural, and historic resources as well as areas of high scientific research value that include geologic formations, wide ranges of habitats, and numerous species. The proclamation directs the BLM and the US Forest Service (FS) to jointly develop a management plan for the monument.
The BLM-managed lands of the Monument are within the Ukiah Field Office jurisdiction and previously managed under the Ukiah Resource Management Plan (RMP) (2006). The Monument includes lands in six of the nine management areas created in the Ukiah RMP: Berryessa, Cache Creek, Cedar Roughs, Indian Valley, Knoxville, and Scattered Tracts. The planning area is within Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Yolo Counties.
