The RAC meeting will include presentations on the development of the San Joaquin Desert Hills Special Recreation Management Area Activity Plan and a discussion to determine how the RAC will participate in the process.

The council advises the Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of planning and management issues associated with BLM public lands in central California.

Each citizen-based council consists of members from diverse interests in local communities, who assist in the development of committee recommendations by sharing their unique perspectives.
