BLM Proposes Resource Management Plans for Northeast Wyoming, Nebraska

NEWCASTLE, Wyo. – The Bureau of Land Management is proposing plans to guide resource management on public lands in northeast Wyoming and throughout Nebraska. If approved, the plans would provide for responsible use of America’s public lands while managing threats to sensitive resources, address comments submitted by the public and cooperating agencies, make nearly all federal mineral estate in the area available for leasing (including fluid, solid, and non-energy resources), allow for livestock grazing on all federal lands, and allow for commercial timber harvest. The BLM last updated the northeast Wyoming plan 25 years ago. That plan covers 287,900 public surface acres and 1.7 million acres of federal mineral estate in Crook, Niobrara, and Weston counties. The BLM last updated the Nebraska plan 33 years ago. The Nebraska plan covers 5,100 public surface acres and 208,300 acres of federal mineral estate across the state. The four-month extended comment period on the draft plans, which included a total of five public meetings offered in-person, virtually, or both, ended in March 2025. The BLM received 77 comment submissions resulting in 865 unique, substantive comments. Additional information about the plans is available at the BLM National NEPA Register . A note published today in the Federal Register, opening a 30-day protest period. Information on how to submit a protest is available at our Filing a Plan Protest page.
