SALT LAKE CITY — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will hold a meeting of the Utah Resource Advisory Council (RAC) via conference call on June 10, 2020. The meeting will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is welcome to join the conference call.
Advisory committees provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior on public land resource and management issues. Advisory committees are sounding boards for BLM initiatives, regulatory proposals, and policy changes. Each citizen-based committee consists of up to 15 members that represent diverse interests present in the local community. Advisory committees are critical in assisting the BLM in continuing to be a good neighbor in the communities that we serve.
Planned agenda items for the June 10 meeting of the Utah RAC include BLM Utah priorities, Desolation River Program and Price Field Office Campground Business Plans, wild horse and burro program update, BLM regulations update, Washington County planning updates, and other issues as appropriate.
