Are the 2020 suggestions posted online, if so do you have a link?Public suggestions were already sent in for 2020 but you can support those now as each office and agency decides whether to move forward or not. Every two years the federal agencies will open a public comment period for the public to suggest land locked public land they would like access to. Keep your eye out for this next opportunity in 2022.
These kind of deals usually involve some kind of land swap that is beneficial for the landowner as well as the public land agency.Kind of naive to think large landowners are just going to sell off easily to allow public access.
We see a few of these each year in Wyoming. They almost always are small parcels of overgrazed sage brush lands the landowners want to swap for larger parcels of riparian habitat. Many of these swaps entail locking out more acres than they open up. Very few of these are ever beneficial. If Wyoming is serious about opening these up it would require paying off the landowners hundreds of Millions for easements around every section much like North Dakota has. https://www.hcn.org/issues/51.2/public-lands-why-wyomings-public-lands-are-locked-upThese kind of deals usually involve some kind of land swap that is beneficial for the landowner as well as the public land agency.
