BLM’s Twin Falls District welcomes new district manager
TWIN FALLS, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Twin Falls District welcomes Birk Roseman as the new Twin Falls district manager, following the retirement of long-time district manager Mike Courtney.
“I am so pleased to welcome Birk to the Twin Falls District Office,” said BLM Idaho Acting State Director June Shoemaker. “He is an extremely quick study and returns to Idaho with a broad scope of experience in complex public land management issues.”
Birk most recently served as the district ranger for the Apalachicola National Forest in Crawfordville, FL. He started his career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service as a range management specialist, where he had the opportunity to work from the Ruby Mountains in Nevada to the coast of California, and then back to the Lost River Ranger District on the Salmon-Challis National Forest. He transitioned to line officer in a position with the Ashley National Forest in Vernal, UT before moving to Florida. Birk graduated from the University of Idaho with a B.S. in Rangeland Ecology and Management.
Birk enjoys spending time with his young family and is looking forward to hiking and exploring new areas of public land managed by the BLM Twin Falls District.
“It seems fitting that I’m returning to Idaho, the place where my interest in a federal career was launched and a state for which I hold a deep appreciation,” said BLM Twin Falls District Manager Birk Roseman. “I am a strong supporter of the BLM multiple use mission, and I look forward to getting to know and working with the many important partners and permittees within the Twin Falls District.”
The Twin Falls District manages over 3.9 million public land acres in south central Idaho.
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.
