BOISE, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management is moving the previously announced January meeting of the Boise District Resource Advisory Council to Feb. 22, 2018 at 3948 Development Ave., Boise, ID, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The change is due to a scheduling conflict.
Resource Advisory Councils demonstrate that partnerships and inclusion are vital to managing sustainable, working public lands.
Planned agenda items at the meeting will be the Four Rivers Field Office Resource Management Plan scoping comments review, Wild Horse and Burro program, travel management planning, Soda Fire rehabilitation, Tri-State fuel break project and other field office updates.
“The RAC represents diverse public interests and provides invaluable input for managing our public lands,” said District Manager Lara Douglas. “Their feedback helps us make more informed decisions, resulting in better projects on the ground.”
A half-hour comment period, during which the public may address the RAC, will begin at 11 a.m. Depending on the number of people wishing to comment and time available, the amount of time for individual oral comments may be limited.
Resource Advisory Councils are critical in assisting the BLM in continuing to be a good neighbor in the communities we serve. The 15-member RAC provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management issues within the BLM Boise District.
For more information about the upcoming RAC meeting, please contact Mike Williamson at (208) 384-3393 or mwilliamson@blm.gov.
