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-managed lands.
The BLM Boise District RAC is a 15-member advisory panel that provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management issues for over 4 million acres of federal public lands within 10 counties in southwest Idaho. Meetings are open to the public.
This forum provides an excellent opportunity for people to ask questions of the citizen-based advisory council or to make comments that may assist RAC members in advising BLM regarding the current planning efforts. Anyone interested in receiving an agenda or additional information about the meeting may contact the BLM Boise District RAC Coordinator Mike Williamson at (208) 384-3393.
