Daines Applauds DOI Rules to Restore Multiple Land Use, Increase Montana Timber Sales

U.S. SENATE –U.S. Senator Steve Daines released the below statement following the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI)’sproposal to rescindthe Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Public Lands Rule and restore multiple-use land management. Daines also applauded the DOI’srecent actionto increase timber sales in Montana.
“President Trump and Secretary Burgum are bringing back commonsense land management policies that will benefit Montana farmers, ranchers, and producers. The harmful Public Lands Rule would have blocked access to use of public lands for outdoor recreation and also would have restricted energy production, grazing, and forest management. By rescinding the Public Lands Rule and unlocking more timber sales in Montana, we’ll be better able to manage our forests and prevent catastrophic wildfires. President Trump is committed to Treasure State priorities and this is welcome news,”said Daines.
