Member Input Needed - Monument Grazing Plan
The BLM and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument have asked for public input on
their "Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) Management Plan Amendment
(MMP-A) for Livestock Grazing".

The DSROA has a lease on Allotment 24030, which is adajacent to and surrounds much of the
Ranch's privately owned land:
(DSR lots and Association land in BLUE, Grazing Lease area in RED)
The Association uses revenue generated by running cattle on the leased area as part of our
operating income and would like to see that continue. Outside sources of income help keep
our DSR dues low. Additionally, grazing activities add to our "Working Ranch
Atmosphere", while enhancing Ranch security by keeping an eye on property boundaries
and fence lines.
If you agree, would you please take a moment of your time to let the BLM know? You can
reach them here:
