BLM Alaska Resource Advisory Council to hold meeting

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Bureau of Land Management will hold an Alaska Resource Advisory Council (RAC) meeting on February 12-13, 2025, in Anchorage. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available, and the public is welcome to attend.

The Alaska RAC serves in an advisory capacity concerning issues relating to land use planning and the management of public land resources located within the State of Alaska. Members represent a variety of interests reflective of the Bureau’s multiple-use mission and Alaska’s diverse population. Members meet to collaborate with each other and make recommendations to the BLM Alaska State Director. Over the years, consensus-based recommendations made by RACs have proven effective and lasting.

Planned agenda items include updates about the BLM Alaska Strategic Plan, Tribal relations, recreation projects, youth and hiring initiatives, and cooperative efforts. A full agenda will be posted to the BLM’s website no less than two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting date. Public comment will be accepted at 1:50 p.m. on February 12. The agenda and other RAC information, such as previous meeting minutes and presentations, are available on the Alaska Resource Advisory Council webpage: www.blm.gov/Alaska/RAC.

Interested members of the public may attend all or portions of the resource advisory council meeting and provide input during the public comment period.
