Project Description

The Indian Peaks Watershed Restoration Plan includes approximately 560,000 acres of BLM land within the Hamlin Valley, Pine Valley, and across the Needles Range, of the Cedar City Field Office (CCFO). The objectives of the proposed project include reducing pinyon pine and juniper encroachment into sagebrush and mountain shrub communities, improving forest health in ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, and aspen stands, reducing invasive annual grasses and restoring native forbs, grasses, and shrubs in historic shrubland and grassland areas. Proposed treatments include prescribed fire, mechanical, manual, seeding, and herbicide vegetation treatment methods.

What's New

June 2, 2026- On June 2, 2026, the United States Department of the Interior Office of Hearings and Appeals (IBLA) granted the BLM’s motion to vacate the Indian Peak Range Restoration Plan EA Decision Record and remand it to the BLM. The BLM expects to publish a revised EA, FONSI, and Decision Record.
