A flower that only grows in the Uinta Basin in Utah and Colorado is being considered for protection and the BLM is requesting public input on the matter. Graham’s penstemon is also known as Graham beardtongue. “Areas of critical environmental concerns are assessed through land-use planning using the best information available and substantial public involvement,” said Green River District Manager Lance Porter. “We appreciate the public’s input in helping us be better stewards of BLM-managed public lands, as we work together to protect our plants, wildlife and the landscape and help ensure our multiple-use and sustained-yield mission.” Email comments to blm_ut_vernal_comments@blm.gov or mail them to the BLM Vernal Field Office.
