BLM seeks input on proposed Miller Mountain land exchange

PINEDALE (WNE) —  The Bureau of Land Management is holding a 30-day public comment period on the environmental assessment for the proposed Miller Mountain land exchange.

If the exchange is approved, BLM would transfer about 1,802 acres of federal land currently only accessible by private lands to Fort Hill, LLC, in exchange for 2,275 acres of private land that offer key public access points and significant conservation value.

The exchange would improve public land management efficiency and provide guaranteed access to lands currently surrounded by private property.

During the comment period, BLM seeks to gather feedback on potential impacts, benefits, and considerations associated with the exchange.

The environmental assessment, maps, and additional details are available at the BLM National NEPA Register, where interested parties can submit written comments via the “Participate Now” option (preferred). Comments may also be delivered to Attn: Miller Mtn. Land Exchange, BLM Pinedale Field Office, P.O. Box 768, Pinedale, WY 82941. The public comment period will close June 11, 2025.
