BISMARCK - The Dakota Prairie Grasslands is releasing a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and proposed route maps for the Little Missouri National Grassland (LMNG) Travel Plan and is seeking public comment. The 30-day public comment period closes Dec. 8.
The Travel Plan project is intended to identify and designate National Forest System roads on the LMNG that will be open to public motorized travel. The proposed action was developed through collaboration with local, state and federal partner agencies; agricultural producers; representatives of the oil and gas industry; natural resource and recreation organizations; and members of the public through a series of open houses that were conducted in 2024.
The Draft EA evaluates the proposed action and its potential environmental effects, while the accompanying maps identify the proposed system of roads available for public motorized access across the LMNG. The analysis contained in the EA will inform a future decision regarding motorized travel management on the grassland.
