Encourage BLM to pilot new tools – perhaps a “BLM Land Planning Portal” – in one or two regions.
Prove transparency improvements by building and testing better public access tools in a small number of regions first. Use pilots—interactive maps, clearer document portals, and virtual engagement—to show what early, usable disclosure looks like in practice. If the pilot works, it becomes a proof point that helps overcome internal resistance and supports scaling.
Why this works
Pilots can bypass initial resistance (“let’s try this in one district first”). Success can create internal champions.
Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition
Tax-deductibleCoalition advancing abundant wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia–Snake Basin.
Save Our Wild Salmon (SOS) is a coalition of conservation, fishing, tribal, business, and clean-energy groups working to restore abundant, self-sustaining wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia–Snake River Basin through coordinated advocacy, policy change, and public engagement.
Mechanism
How Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition uses funding
- Define the pilot region and the transparency question the tool must answer.
- Design a protocol for what data and documents are published, when, and in what format.
- Build and launch the pilot portal and engagement tools with clear user pathways.
- Collect feedback and usage signals; iterate to improve clarity and accessibility.
- Publish results and a scale plan so the pilot can expand beyond one region.
