The September 18 meeting will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Pinedale, Wyoming. A virtual participation option will also be available. Participation instructions have been posted to the RAC’s webpage at https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/resource-advisory-council/near-you/wyoming. The field tour will also commence and conclude at the Hampton Inn & Suites.
Advisory councils consist of up to 15 members that represent diverse interests present in the local community. The Wyoming RAC provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior on public land resource and management issues in the state.
“Everyone at BLM Wyoming looks forward to furthering the discussion with our members and serving the public through stewardship of our public lands,” said BLM Wyoming State Director, Andrew Archuleta.
Agenda topics for September 18 may include updates from district managers, State Director comments, and other resource management issues the RAC may raise. On September 19, there will be a tour of the LaBarge project area.
The public is welcome to attend both the meeting and the field tour but will be responsible for their own transportation and meals. A half-hour public comment period, during which the public may address the RAC members, will be held during the first day’s meeting. The amount of time for individual oral comments may be limited depending on the number of people wishing to comment and time available. A full agenda will be available on the RAC’s webpage.
