    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the availability of the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan for the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, covering lands in Oregon, Washington, and California. This plan, signed on January 7, 2025, sets guidelines for the effective management and protection of the natural resources and cultural sites within the monument. The management plan was developed after collaboration with regulatory agencies and Tribal Nations and ensures that existing policies are updated to meet current management needs. Despite receiving several protest letters and undergoing a review by the Governors of Oregon and California, no changes were needed in the final plan.
