Excerpt
Excerpts: The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, created by Presidential proclamation on September 18, 1996, is BLM?s first and only national monument. Managing a national monument is a significant new challenge for the BLM, but one that is consistent with BLM?s mission of preserving resource values within the larger context of multiple-use management.
