Magaletti named Sierra Front Field Manager
Matthew Magaletti has been named the new Sierra Front Field Manager for the BLM Carson City District.
Magaletti started his career with the BLM Student Career Experience Program in Arizona, where he first discovered the value of collaboratively working with communities to manage public lands. After graduating from college, Magaletti worked as a realty specialist and later as a land use planner in southern Arizona.
Prior to moving to Nevada, Matt worked as a BLM Policy Analyst in Washington D.C and soon moved back west to Nevada as a Project Coordinator, collaborating with a diverse group of partners, government agencies, and ranchers to develop land use plans aimed at conserving sage grouse habitat, while also respecting BLM’s multiple use mission. Before moving into this role, Matt worked for BLM Headquarters as the agency’s National Partnerships Coordinator.
“I am excited about this new chapter of my career and the chance to manage public lands in a collaborative manner in my own backyard,” said Magaletti. “Public lands in Nevada are incredibly important to our communities, economy, and way of life, and I look forward to being a part of it."
Magaletti grew up outside of Tucson, AZ and graduated from Arizona State University with a master’s degree in environmental planning and a bachelor’s in landscape architecture. In his free time, Magaletti enjoys wandering around public lands in the Sierra Nevada’s and Great Basin with his two Bengal cats and partner, fixing up old houses, and pretending to know how to garden.
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
