Improving the way we plan together.

Planning 2.0

Planning 2.0

• A Resource Management Plan (RMP) is a blueprint that describes how the BLM will manage areas of public land over a period of time.

• Required under The Federal Land Management and Policy Act  (FLPMA).

• Developed through a collaborative process.

• Guides future management actions and decisions.

• 50+ on‐going Resource Management Plans (RMPs) under development.

• Most western states include 6 ‐10 planning areas.

The Landscape Approach

• Landscape scale assessments

• Regional mitigation strategies

• Monitoring for adaptive management

• Geospatial data integration

• Science integration

Planning 2.0 will improve our ability to “plan across landscapes”

How might we meet these goals?

Planning 2.0

1. Integration of adaptive management into plans. 

2. Earlier public and stakeholder collaboration.

3. Improved amendment process.

Planning 2.0

1. New opportunities for public participation and stakeholder collaboration.

2. Improved use of web technology. 

3. Continue to actively engage Cooperating Agencies in plan development. 

11

Enhance opportunities for collaborative planning.

Planning 2.0

1. Reconsider boundaries for future plans.

2. Higher‐level plans are focused on landscape goals and land use allocations.

3. Emphasis on geospatial data‐driven plans.

Planning 2.0

BLM evaluates existing management and management concerns.

PRE‐PLANNING

17

• Is existing management working? 

• Are there resource management concerns? 

• What is the anticipated scope of the planning effort?

• What is the anticipated planning area boundary?

Planning 2.0

Collaborative pre‐planning outreach.

• What resources and multiple uses are 

important in the planning area?

• Where are they important?

18

PRE‐PLANNING

• What is our long‐term vision for the landscape?

• Is the planning area boundary and scope of the planning effort 

appropriate to reach this vision?

• What data is available for this planning effort?

Alternatives outreach.

20

RMP DEVELOPMENT

• Is the range of alternatives complete?

• Is any relevant information missing?

• Are the goals consistent with each other?

11

Planning 2.0

1. Collaborative pre‐planning and alternatives outreach.

2. More focused plans.

3. Landscape‐level goals/direction and integrated resource and use objectives.

4. Less prescriptive plans.

5. Adaptive management. 

How is this approach different?

Planning 2.0

• Do you have ideas on how the BLM might achieve the project goals?

• What have you seen that worked well in past planning efforts?
