What happened
The Trump administration proposed expanding access to grazing on U.S. Forest Service lands, including North Dakota’s national grasslands, according to John Hoeven. The proposal would clarify permit eligibility, create targeted grazing authorizations to reduce wildfire risk, and extend livestock use permits for up to five years. John Hoeven is also working with the Forest Service to revise the Travel Management Rule for the Little Missouri Grasslands.
