Medora, N.D. — Theodore Roosevelt National Park announced today that it is terminating the Livestock Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA). The decision was made after careful consideration of the information and public comment received during the EA process.
The park began the livestock planning effort in the winter of 2021. The EA was released in September 2023 and the planning team has spent several months reviewing the public comments received during the process. Throughout the EA process, the team held three public comment periods and the park consulted with affiliated Tribes, state officials, and the North Dakota congressional delegation.
The park appreciates the comments and public engagement over the last three years. Information gathered will be used to inform future efforts to manage livestock, horse and cattle herds. All materials will remain on the project website for future reference.
