The issues include: Cultural and historic resources; tribal use; vegetation resources; wild horse and burros; social and economic values; climate change; special areas (Worthington Mountains Wilderness, Shooting Gallery Area of Environmental Concern (ACEC), and Mt.

The public is also encouraged to help identify any management questions and concerns that should be addressed in the plan.
