BLM Colorado hires Brian St. George as Associate State Director
LAKEWOOD, Colo. – BLM Colorado State Director Doug Vilsack announced the selection of Brian St. George as the new Associate State Director. St George, a 24-year BLM veteran, has been acting in the position since June. He officially returns to BLM Colorado from BLM Headquarters where he served as the Deputy Assistant Director for Resources and Planning. St George previously served as the Field Manager of the Gunnison Field Office and the Deputy State Director of Resources for BLM Colorado.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Brian back to BLM Colorado as the Associate,” said Doug Vilsack. “His extensive experience in the state and more recently at headquarters positions him to lead our team through the day-to-day management of public lands in Colorado.”
As Associate State Director, St George will be responsible for critical operational programs including personnel, budget, and partnerships. His expertise and long experience with highly complex management issues will help advance land use planning, restoration, wildlife management, and recreation priorities in BLM Colorado. St George brings a focus on the stewardship and sustainable use of all BLM Colorado’s valuable resources.
Brian is an avid user of public lands and committed public servant. He’s no stranger to Colorado’s trails, waters, and communities supported by the BLM. When not searching for the perfect experience on public lands, he’s a devout fan of Arvada West High School volleyball and the University of Denver where his daughters are pursuing their passions.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
