| Abstract | Experimental Stewardship was authorized by the Public Rangeland Improvement Act of 1978. Congress asked the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to develop and implement an experimental program which would provide incentives or rewards for the holders of grazing permits whose stewardship improved the condition of the lands. I have my own ideas why, in part, Congress asked for this experimentation. In the mid 70's, Congressmen were being bombarded by hostile constituencies. The various constituent interests were locked in combat over the Bureau of Land Management Grazing Environmental Impact Statements that had been mandated by a Federal Court. I visualize the Congressmen saying—"Whoa, wait a minute. There must be a better way— a way to settle issues at the local level." Ultimately, the Secretaries jointly established 3 structured program areas for experimentation. The 3 programs are in Montana, Idaho, and California. The Modoc/Washoe area, the focus of this paper, embraces 2 1/4 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service, and private land in NE California and NW Nevada. Historically, there have been a lot of cooperative planning and management efforts throughout the West with varying degrees of success. I have searched for the factors in the Modoc/Washoe Program that may go beyond the good work that has been done in the past. Let us look at some of these factors. |
