About Adrienne
In fall of 2017, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced an initiative known as Outcome-Based Grazing Authorizations. It is designed to offer a more collaborative approach between the BLM and its partners within the livestock grazing community when issuing grazing authorizations. The purpose of this project is to improve BLM’s management of grazing on public lands by offering livestock managers greater flexibility to respond annually more readily to changing on-the-ground conditions, such as drought or wildfire. This will better ensure healthy rangelands that provide high-quality wildlife habitat, while supporting economically sustainable ranching operations. The program highlights BLM’s commitment to partnerships, which are vital to managing sustainable, working public lands.
This opportunity fits into the BLM-IWJV’s Partnering to Conserve Sagebrush Rangelands effort’s broader mission and purpose by recognizing and addressing the complexities of landscape management in the mixed estate found in the Intermountain West. By proactively addressing whole ranch operations, the BLM-IWJV partnership ensures that sustainable rural communities and ecologically vibrant landscapes are achieved through a conservation-centric model. In August of 2021, Adrienne Hoskins was hired to fill this position, which is hosted by Pheasants Forever.
