Does BLM allow livestock grazing?
A. Yes, where appropriate. The desert has adequate forage in many areas for grazing livestock, as well as for wildlife. If properly managed, livestock grazing, which has been going on in the desert since the late 1800s, is an appropriate use of these resources.Q. Are there any other development aspects of the plan? A. Yes. Another critical use is providing rights-of-way for major powerlines, pipelines, telephone lines, and communication sites critical to southern California’s rapidly growing population. The CDCA Plan identified corridors for these uses so they could be carefully controlled. These corridors are working very well and they allow construction, under environmental protection requirements, of needed energy and communication facilities.
