Natural Resources

In 2018, Crook County adopted the Crook County Natural Resources Policy.   It is the purpose of the Crook County Natural Resources to set forth the positions of Crook County in regard to the use of and access to natural resources located on public and federal land within the County. In compliance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the National Forest Management Act, it is the Crook County Court’s priority to engage in coordination with federal and, in certain circumstances, with state agencies, to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens through the appropriate management of all federal natural resources within Crook County.  The use of public and federal land is critical to the health, safety, welfare, and economic stability of Crook County citizens. The Court recognizes the inherent natural beauty and the quality of life afforded to the citizens and visitors to Crook County.
