AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS

Hike with your kids on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Zigzagging its way from Mexico to Canada, the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest
Trail was designated as a National Scenic Trail by Congress in 1968.
The BLM manages 180-miles of the trail, primarily in the south half of
the state. This trail boasts some of the greatest elevation changes in
the National Scenic Trail System and is popular with thousands of
hiker and equestrian users. Whether you visit for a few hours or for a
few weeks, you'll surely find a uniquely Californian scene that will
rejuvenate, inspire, and surprise you.

TRADITIONAL ENERGY

"BLM, Tribes Continue Dialogue on Hydraulic Fracturing Rule" (BLM,
06/13/13) Building on the eight outreach sessions held last year with
Tribal communities and the 22 formal one-on-one tribal consultations,
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has scheduled two additional
regional outreach meetings with Tribal representatives to discuss how
the Bureau's proposed hydraulic fracturing rule would strengthen oil
and gas operations on Indian trust lands.

"BLM Extends Public Comment Period on Proposed Hydraulic Fracturing
Rule"(06/07/13) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced today
that it is extending the public comment period on its proposed revised
rule to regulate hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas on public and
Indian trust lands. Notice of the 60-day extension, which extends the

in the rule, which is the first update of these Federal oil and gas
regulations since the 1980s, prompted the extension.

WILD HORSES AND BURROS

"Sterilize Wild Horses to Cut Population" (The Sacramento bee,
06/06/13) The federal government should do large-scale drug injections
of wild horses to make them infertile, according to a highly
anticipated recommendation from the National Academy of Sciences. The
report released said the Interior Department's strategy for wild
horses is making a bad situation worse. The government has rounded up
nearly 50,000 wild horses and put them in corrals and pastures. More
of America's wild horses are now in holding facilities than estimated
to be roaming the wild, in what the National Academy of Sciences
called a failure to limit the animals' fast-growing numbers.

The Bureau of Land Management welcomed the findings and
recommendations of a 14-member committee of the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS) that reviewed the BLM's wild horse and burro management
issues over a two-year period. The resulting report, entitled "Using
Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way
Forward," was commissioned by the BLM, which requested the NAS to
perform and prepare an independent assessment of numerous
scientific-related issues related to the agency's management of wild
horses and burros on Western public rangelands.
