MORE WILDLIFE NEWS
  "Updated: Li'l Smokey returned to the wilds in Siskiyou County" (Redding Record Searchlight, 2/5/09)
We have carried previous stories about the bear cub rescued from a fire on BLM-managed lands in Shasta County (most recently in issue 356, Nov. 6, 2008). "Li’l Smokey, a now not-so-little American black bear cub rescued last summer ... was returned today to new digs in the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County. The exact location of Li’l Smokey’s new home is being kept a top secret by state Department of Fish and Game officials. But wildlife experts said it is considered to be excellent bear habitat."

 "Koala rescued from Australia's wildfire wasteland" (Associated Press on Google News, 2/10/09)
Speaking of wildlife rescued from wildfires ... we just couldn't resist linking to this remarkable photo and story. Plus, U.S. and Australian firefighting agencies have mutual aid agreements, and BLM and other Department of Interior firefighters have helped fight Australian wildfires in previous years. "David Tree noticed the koala moving gingerly on scorched paws as his fire patrol passed. Clearly in pain, the animal stopped when it saw Tree ... 'I yelled out for a bottle of water. I unscrewed the bottle, tipped it up on his lips and he just took it naturally. He kept reaching for the bottle, almost like a baby'."

"San Diego Zoo joins effort to save threatened desert tortoise" (Imperial Valley News, 2/9/09)
"San Diego Zoo Conservation Ambassador Joan Embery revealed Saturday the Zoo's new role in helping to save the threatened desert tortoise. Embery spoke to a group of about 100 people at the Zoo's annual conference, which explores a different conservation topic each year ... Embery opened the conference with the announcement that the San Diego Zoo will apply expertise by joining the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in operating the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's Desert Tortoise Conservation Center in Nevada."

"The federal government is asking for the public's help in deciding how best to relocate desert tortoises to make way for expansion of Fort Irwin Army training center near Barstow. The effort to move the tortoises to new territory was suspended last fall ... Now the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Fort Irwin National Training Center have announced a 'scoping period' ending Feb. 18 to hear the public's suggestions on what issues should be addressed before tortoises are again moved from Fort Irwin expansion areas."

 "Birthing season for elephant seals at Piedras Blancas" (Los Angeles Times, 2/8/09)
"Birthing peaks in mid-January with over 50 births a day on the beaches adjacent to the parking lot. The new pups have a shiny black coat and are often quite active. Indeed, with non-dominant bulls trying to invade the harems; mothers defending their section of the beach from encroachment by other females, pups, and even the big males; and the pups screaming for milk or misplaced mothers, the scene is the noisiest and most active of the year." Includes video.

"On a gorgeous winter day near Stonyford, just inside the Sacramento Valley's western foothills, a cluster of animals once thought to be extinct rested in a peaceful valley, safely surrounded by rolling hills. The animals weren't cattle, sheep or goats settled quietly in the sun. They were tule elk, a rare species found only in California. ... Besides Stonyford, the animals inhabit areas such as Cache Creek, Lake Pillsbury, Owens Valley and Potter Valley."

CARRIZO PLAIN PLAN
"Editorial: Land bureau on right track for Carrizo" (San Luis Obispo Tribune, 2/3/09)
"The Carrizo Plain National Monument is an ecological treasure that requires careful stewardship, and we believe the Bureau of Land Management is on the right track with its new resource management plan. The preferred alternative identified in the report strives to protect sensitive resources while allowing recreation and other public uses ... The management plan is a chance to turn the corner and do things right. We urge BLM to move forward with its preferred alternative."

"BLM releases draft plan for Carrizo Plain National Monument" (BLM-California news release, 1/21/09)
BLM will conduct three meetings in Central California to gather comments on the draft plan and EIS:
- Feb. 24 at the BLM Bakersfield Field Office, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

 "Carrizo Plain National Monument" (BLM-California, Bakersfield Field Office)
The Carrizo Plain, 100 airline miles (160 km) north of Los Angeles, California is an area by-passed by time. Soda Lake, its centerpiece, is a glistening bed of white salt, set within a vast open grassland, rimmed by mountains. The plain is home to diverse communities of wildlife and plant species, and is an area culturally important to Native Americans.

"Wildflowers and sightseeing" (BLM-California, Bakersfield Field Office)
February 10, 2009: The Carrizo is just starting to green up a little. There was snow on the plain floor today and more rain expected for this week. Mid March to mid April is the usual time frame for wildflower season, but it is dependent on the weather and varies from season to season. Also beginning in March check this page for more information. There are many factors, including temperature, rainfall and the timing of the two that determine which flowers bloom and their distribution in any given season. Every year is not spectacular and only a few flowers may prevail in some years.

RECREATION ON PUBLIC LANDS
"Travel management workshops to continue" (News.bytes Extra)
The Bureau of Land Management’s Keyesville area near Lake Isabella hosts a variety of users from off-highway vehicle riders to river rafters. Those who use the area would like to see the varied uses remain, but with better user education and law enforcement. Those were some of the main themes that came out at a public workshop last week. In addition to the Keyesville meeting, BLM’s Bakersfield office will host two public workshops in February to discuss travel management for the BLM’s Bakersfield Resource Management Plan.

RENEWABLE ENERGY
"Dark days for green energy" (New York Times, 2/3/09)
"Wind and solar power have been growing at a blistering pace in recent years, and that growth seemed likely to accelerate under the green-minded Obama administration. But because of the credit crisis and the broader economic downturn, the opposite is happening: installation of wind and solar power is plummeting."

"Environmental concerns roadblock to renewable energy" (Las Vegas Sun, 2/6/09)
"A few years ago, residents and environmentalists rarely objected to clean energy development in their hometowns. But as the country prepares for massive growth in the number of renewable energy installations, environmental lawyers say there are rumblings from various groups about where these electric plants are located and whether the benefit of the emission-free electricity is worth the environmental price ... Environmentalists are battling California solar companies to stop planned solar plants in the Mojave Desert as well as expansion of the transmission grid between California and Nevada."

"Hurdles (not financial ones) await electric grid update"(New York Times, 2/6/09)
"Environmentalists dream of a bigger and 'smarter' electric grid that could move vast amounts of clean electricity from windswept plains and sunny deserts to distant cities ... Opposition to power lines from landowners and neighbors, local officials or environmental groups, especially in rural areas, makes expansion difficult -- even when the money for it is available. And some experts argue that in the absence of a broader national effort to encourage cleaner fuels, even the smartest grid will do little to reduce consumption of fuels that contribute to climate change."

"Don Quixote fights the windmills -- and so does Boulevard" (East County Magazine, February 2009)
"Editor’s Note: Should wind turbines hundreds of feet tall -- higher than the existing Kumeyaay wind farm turbines -- be allowed in the rural McCain Valley/Boulevard region in East County? Does the nation’s critical need for 'green' energy outweigh the concerns of residents seeking to preserve the rural character of their backcountry communities? With new industrial-scale wind farms proposed across America, East County Magazine’s Gayle Early set out on a quest to explore these issues in depth for our three-part series on wind energy."

INVASIVE SPECIES
"Study: Climate change may reshuffle western weeds" (Associated Press in San Diego Union-Tribune, 2/6/09)
"Climate change will likely shuffle some of the West's most troublesome invasive weeds, adding to the burden faced by farms and ranchers in some areas and providing opportunities for native plant restoration in others, according to a new study ... Yellow starthistle may expand in California and Nevada as the climate changes ... The models take into account many of the possible scenarios of a warming climate, but it's still difficult to predict changes at a local level. That's especially true for precipitation, including when it will fall and how much."

"Calif steps up effort to halt invasive species" (Associated Press in San Francisco Chronicle, 2/10/09)
California's new Invasive Species Council "includes secretaries of five state agencies that previously had dealt with the environmental problem within their own bureaucracies ... Nonnative bugs and plants cause at least $138 billion in losses nationwide each year to agriculture, power and water delivery systems and forests..." Among the invasive threats is "Yellow Star Thistle, which kills horses and has choked 10 million acres of pastureland..." The BLM cooperates with the state in battling invasive species.

"Yellow Starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis)" (BLM-California, Arcata Field Office)
California is heavily infested with yellow starthistle statewide. It is toxic to horses as it causes "chewing disease." Once a plant invades a site it may sit without increasing for several years. It becomes genetically adapted to that site and then the population explodes and spreads rapidly. Small populations must be eradicated!

MINERALS AND MINING
  "Expansion in works for mine with troubled environmental past" (Riverside Press-Enterprise, 2/9/09)
"The 57-year-old Mountain Pass Mine off Interstate 15 near the Nevada border has one of the world's few ready supplies of elements known as rare earths, used in manufacturing wind turbines, hybrid cars, fluorescent light bulbs, computer hard drives, DVD players, small electric motors and hundreds of other products." The company says it "is awaiting Bureau of Land Management approval" for work testing earlier pollution.

"Con artists are peddling bogus lists of 'free' government land or property for sale" (Los Angeles Times, 2/8/09)
"The federal government often puts real property up for sale, but it no longer gives land or houses away for nothing, at least not to individuals. So the next time you see an advertisement or receive an e-mail that trumpets 'free' government land, don't believe it. No matter what the ad claims, Congress put an end to the giveaways more than 30 years ago. The Homesteading Act of 1862 was repealed in 1976 because all the good agricultural land -- 287.5 million acres of it -- had already been transferred out of federal ownership."

"Budget stalemate causing huge problems for conservation projects" (Redding Record Searchlight, 2/8/09)
"The state's suspension of bond sales - and resultant lack of funding - has halted many environmental improvement projects and caused some agencies to cut jobs ... Among the projects most affected in the north state is the revival of Clear Creek, which flows just south of Redding. The creekbed was literally turned over during the Gold Rush days and over the past decade, a combination of local, state and federal agencies, as well as nonprofit groups, have worked to restore the waterway to prime salmon-rearing habitat." BLM-California has worked with others in the restoration of Clear Creek.

NATIONAL AND/OR DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR ITEMS
"Our Opinion: Salazar good pick for Interior" (Imperial Valley Press, 2/5/09)
Editorial: "Salazar is known as a moderate Democrat who is respected on both sides of the aisle. He appears free of the ethical entanglements that have plagued other Obama nominees ... Previous Interior secretaries have been either longtime bureaucrats and/or politicians or, in the case of James Watt and Gale Norton, end time believers who showed little interest in preserving the environment or its natural resources. Salazar, however, knows what it is like to work the land and has knowledge of how important water, particularly the Colorado River water that feeds the Imperial Valley, is to the West."

"Like all newly minted Cabinet members, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has been adjusting to life in the executive branch. Five years of sticking up for the beauty of his home state of Colorado in the U.S. Senate appears to have left him well prepared for his appointment as the nation's top conservationist. Supervising about 70,000 employees in 2,400 offices across the country, Salazar, who oversees the Fish and Wildlife and National Park Services, as well as the Bureaus of Land Management, Reclamation and Indian Affairs, has found himself in charge of 500 million acres of land, about one-fifth of the United States."

"President Obama is shelving a plan announced in the final days of the Bush administration to open much of the U.S. coast to oil drilling, including 130 million acres off California's coast from Mendocino to San Diego. On Tuesday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar ordered the plan be put on hold while his agency conducts a 180-day review of the country's offshore oil and gas resources. Salazar's critical comments about the plan signaled that the new administration will seek to rewrite it if not completely scrap it."
