These potential policy changes would complement the various grazing regulatory changes that the BLM is already considering. Clarke noted that the BLM recently published two BLM-Direct- documents in the Federal Register that deal with possible regulation changes. (For details on these documents, see the BLMs Web site at www.blm.gov.) Along with our regulatory effort, Clarke said, other grazing policy changes some of which can be carried out within existing grazing rules are also vitally important to consider. The policy changes under the BLMs consideration, like the potential regulatory changes announced in the grazing-relate- d will publish a Community The Times-New- s Calendar each week of events in our area.

The potential policy changes would provide more options and flexibility for resource managers, ranchers, conservationists, and others to work in partnership to achieve healthier Western rangelands. The policy changes comprise what the BLM is calling its Sustaining Working Landscapes initiative. By working landscapes," the BLM means landscapes on the public lands that are both economically productive and environmentally healthy. Central to the initiative is the idea of Reserve Common Allotments," a new type of grazing unit. These allotments would be created with ranchers Cooperatively and voluntarily to promote healthier grazing binds and to help ranchers who tem- porarily cannot use their permits for various reasons. Grazing permittees could use these reserve allotments for livestock forage while their regular allotments undergo range improvement. Existing regulations, however, would limit implementation of this concept for use by the BLM, individuals, livestock "With Every Stitch: Historic and Contemporary Samplers and Needlework. open through Oct. 19.
