Description: The 2011 Rangeland Resource Assessment (RRA) is a first-of-its-kind report on the status and condition of renewable resources on federal rangelands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM based the RRA on a statistical survey of 879 locations across BLM rangelands in 13 western states. Standardized field methods and a statistically valid study design to measure attributes and indicators of rangeland status and condition were consistently used across all rangelands sampled.
