Shrink the Cascade–Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon
Printed page 532 16. Department of the Interior
“One national monument worthy of downward adjustment is in Oregon, where its designation and subsequent expansion interfere with the federal obligation to residents to harvest timber on its BLM lands.”
What has happened
- Not started
The Cascade–Siskiyou National Monument has not been reduced. Greps of every Federal Register presidential document, rule, proposed rule and notice in the window return no proclamation, notice or order naming it; the two modification proclamations of 2026-07-13 cover Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante only (#1495); and Interior's 2025–2026 press releases do not mention it. The BLM timber ask on the same monument's lands is being pursued through the Oregon resource management plan revision instead (#1499).
