BLM Utah Resource Advisory Council convenes in March 2024

The BLM Color Country District will host a meeting and field tour of the Utah Resource Advisory Council (RAC) March 20-21, 2024, to discuss various issues related to the management of public lands in Utah. The public is invited to attend and gain valuable information regarding district and statewide planning efforts.

“The RAC is a valuable resource to gain different perspectives on how we manage public lands,” said Color Country District Manager Gloria Tibbetts. “Their recommendations, combined with public input, help inform management decisions in multiple ways.”

The public meeting on March 20 may be attended in person or virtually. It will be held at the Ramada by Wyndham St. George, 1440 E. St. George Blvd., St. George, Utah, 84790 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. MT. Visit the RAC’s website or contact your local field office for details on how to participate and to review the meeting agenda. The public may address the RAC from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. MT on March 20. Depending on the number of people wishing to comment, the amount of time for individual oral comments may be limited.
