SUMMARY: Draft rangeland standards and guidelines for livestock grazing

Management (BLM), have been developed in consultation with three 
Resource Advisory Councils (Eastern Washington, John Day-Snake and

have chartered a subgroup of scientists, other federal state agency

rangeland health indicators developed in connection with the draft 
standards and guidelines. The subgroup will meet to review these draft 
indicators on April 9 and 10, 1997, at the Columbia Gorge Community 
College Auditorium, 400 Scenic Drive, The Dalles, Oregon. The meeting 
will begin at 10 a.m. on April 9, 1997, and is open to the public. A 
report of the indicator subgroup will be given to each RAC and PAC and 
used to assist the RAC's and PAC's in making recommendations to the BLM 
on the final standards and guidelines later in 1997.
