SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

SMAC was established August 14, 2001, 

pursuant to the Steens Mountain 

Cooperative Management and Protection 

Act of 2000 (Steens Act) (Pub. L. 106– 

399). The SMAC provides 

recommendations to the BLM regarding 

new and unique approaches to 

management of the land within the 

bounds of the Steens Mountain 

Cooperative Management and Protection 

Area (CMPA), recommends cooperative 

programs and incentives for landscape 

management that meet human needs, 

and advises the BLM on potential 

maintenance and improvement of the 

ecological and economic integrity of the 

area. 

The SMAC’s Public Lands Access 

Subcommittee was established in 2015 

and serves to research, discuss, and 

evaluate any access issue in the Steens 

Mountain CMPA. Issues could relate to 

parking, hiking, motorized or nonmotorized use, public to private land 

inholding routes and methods of travel, 

private to public land access by way of 

easement or other agreement, or 

purchase or exchange of public and 

private land for improved access and 

contiguous landscape. The 

Subcommittee reviews all aspects of any 

access issue, formulates suggestions for 

remedy, and proposes those solutions to 

the entire SMAC for further discussion 

and possible recommendation to the 

BLM. 

On September 23, 2021, the 

Subcommittee will tour the Nature’s 

Advocate, LLC, inholding in the Fish 

Creek area on Steens Mountain. The 

field tour will take all day and ATVs

transportation at all times including 

traditional vehicles as road conditions

distances of 1 to 2 miles each way 

across varied terrain. Attending council 

members, agency personnel, and public 

participants shall provide their own 

personal amenities for the duration of
