Las Vegas – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will meet with the Mojave-Southern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council (RAC) on March 2 at the North Las Vegas City Hall in the 9th floor conference room. The RAC advises and makes recommendations to the BLM on public land management. Discussion items will include: recap of last year’s accomplishments, election of officers, goals for this year, Resource Management Plan, Gold Butte National Monument and managers’ reports of district office activities will be given.
The meeting is open to the public and attendees should park in south parking area instead of the customer parking area. The meeting will commence at 9 a.m. and public comment will be available on agenda items from 1 to 1:30 p.m.
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in planning and discussion of issues related to management of BLM-administered public lands. The Mojave-Southern Great Basin RAC is one of three such councils in Nevada that accommodates this community participation directive. Represented on the council are commercial and non-commercial users that include elected officials and state agencies, environmental, livestock, mining, Native American, and wild horse and burro.
The BLM manages more than 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.
