Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Palisade Area of Critical Environmental Concern, BLM Colorado

When managed for the protection of scenic values, fish or wildlife resources, or natural processes, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern can often overlap with Wilderness Areas or Wilderness Study Areas, which manage for similar values. The Palisade ACEC, overlapping with the Palisade Wilderness Study Area, is one example.

It is a spectacularly diverse area spanning vertical cliffs, mesas, deep rugged canyons and flat desert valley bottoms. Its most prominent feature is The Palisade itself, a three-mile rocky butte that cuts the unit from north to south like a spine. The area is protected for peregrine falcon and golden eagle breeding areas as well as Gunnison Sage-Grouse habitat. It is also managed for the preservation of sensitive plant species.
