  • Public Land Access Education

    Educated members on land issues and provided information and books to members on related issues. Held annual convention for members to network and share views on BLM issues. This years theme was Public Land Access. It had a range of local experts on public land access challenges in Wyoming. There was an acknowledgement that there has been a revolution in technology regarding public access to digitized maps and land status, but there is still a lack of digitized road data on travel access. There are efforts underway at the private, State and Federal levels to standardize GIS data, but improvements are needed to standardize attributes to better educate and inform public land users.
