*Ten years ago on March 24th, 2000, then Secretary Bruce Babbitt, proposed creating the National Landscape Conservation System, as a vehicle to allow the BLM to “set the standard for protecting landscapes, applying evolving knowledge and social standards, and bring people together to live in harmony with the land.” He challenged us to “formally recognize, within the BLM’s institutional structure, a system of land that can be managed in a special way.” “…a system that stands proudly alongside parks and refuges as part of our national heritage, and one that provides needed connectivity between national parks, forest and wildlife refuges. *Secretary Babbitt felt that there was a “persistent upwelling of public support to protect large landscape ecosystems – not just Park and Forest Service islands.” There was then and continues to be a desire to protect these special places, and manage them for their valuable resources, “clean water, the protection of endangered species, for abundant wildlife, for productive fisheries, for open space, (and) for the protection of our heritage.” *The establishment of the National Landscape Conservation System is changing BLM’s management of public lands, to focus more on the conservation component of the BLM’s multiple-use mission. Its establishment ten years ago brought together “…BLM’s specially protected areas across the landscape… to emphasize the idea of (protecting) entire landscapes of cultural and natural values instead of preserving only disconnected islands that are cut off from the surroundings that sustain them.” *”To assure consistency between special areas where appropriate, ensure that special areas receive appropriate budget consideration, ensure that problems and issues particular to these areas have an advocate, and increase their profile and recognition of the areas.”

Timing and PeopleImpression that BLM was difficult to work with; inherent
mistrust of gov’t
The right people were not in place
Low emphasis by BLM for local projects > other higher priority issues and projects
Cultural voice in community was ag
centric…had to create value around a trail system
Finding a voice for recreation > how to engage those people
