Carson City, Nev – On October 23, Brady Owens began a 120-day detail as the BLM Sierra Front Field Manager.
“Having an opportunity to continue the legacy of multiple use and sustained yield of public lands in the Sierra Front Field Office is a supreme honor. I look forward to working with the public, our many partners, and our capable specialists in this mission of stewardship and collaboration,” says Owens.
Owens currently serves as the Assistant Field Manager for non-renewable resources in the Wells Field Office, located in Elko, Nevada. Owens began his career with the BLM in 2013 at the Hollister Field Office (now named the Central Coast Field Office) in the Central California District.
