The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument land use plan has been the source of local and national controversy over multi-use planning for wilderness and roadless areas. The plan currently strives for a balance between managing rare natural habitat, recreational activities, and agricultural activities including cattle grazing and timber. Numerous private land inholdings remain within the boundaries of the Monument. The Southern Oregon Land Conservancy holds a conservation easement on a private property near Siskiyou Summit.
