A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2019 Interior boss aims to protect US public land access tion credentials ahead of a Senate confi rmation hearing next week, in which Demo- crats are likely to highlight his past work as an energy industry lobbyist. Bernhardt has been nom- inated to replace former Secretary Ryan Zinke, who resigned in January. Several hunting and con- servation groups voiced sup- port for the action, includ- ing the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Associa- tion of State Fish and Wild- life Agencies. But others said it appeared politically calculated to curry favor among lawmakers ahead of the hearing. The critics pointed to drastic cuts in President Donald Trump’s proposed budget to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which supports conservation and outdoor recreation proj- ects nationwide. Bernhardt said in a state- ment that the administration “has and will continue to pri- oritize access so that people can hunt, fi sh, camp and rec- reate on our public lands.” Hunting and fi shing Critics question the timing By MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — Acting U.S. Interior Sec- retary David Bernhardt ordered federal land man- agers on Thursday to give greater priority to access for hunting, fi shing and other kinds of recreation when the government considers sell- ing or trading public land. The secretarial order comes amid longstanding complaints that millions of acres of state and fed- eral land in the West can be reached only by traveling across private property or small slivers of public land. Bernhardt’s order requires the Bureau of Land Manage- ment to come up with alter- natives to access routes that could be lost during land sales or exchanges. It also helps prevent land from being selected in the fi rst place for potential sale. The move could help boost Bernhardt’s conserva- Steve Allison/Miles City Star Deer in the grasslands near Miles City, Mont. advocates had pressed the administration to close what they considered a loophole in federal land policies that allows some sites to be sold.

As a result, the bureau has identifi ed for potential sale sites such as 11 parcels of land totaling 4.3 square miles adjacent to the Big- horn National Forest west of Buffalo, Wyoming, said Joel Webster with the The- 8-square mile tract of mostly grasslands near Miles City, Montana — is popular for deer, antelope and bird hunting and can be accessed from a nearby highway. “It is one of the best mule deer hunting areas in the nation,” Webster said. “The BLM just has not been thinking about recreational access when they’ve been looking to sell lands. We think this order means much fewer acres with access are going to be available for sale.” National Parks Conser- vation Association Vice President Kristen Brengel said the order’s timing — exactly one week before Bernhardt appears in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Commit- tee — casts doubt over the administration’s purpose. “They’re paying lip ser- vice to an issue a lot of people care about,” Bren- gel said. “When the presi- dent’s budget doesn’t fund the most prominent pro- gram that would guaran- tee this access, this is com- pletely empty.” Mary Jean (Henry) Zillman, of Astoria, ginia Younger Chaney and William Don- died Thursday, March 14, 2019, ald George; great-grandsons, in Astoria.
