Monte Vista, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management Rocky Mountain District has announced the selection of Dale Culver as the San Luis Valley Field Manager.
As the San Luis Valley Field Manager, Culver will oversee the multiple-uses management of a diverse array of public lands.
“Dale comes to us from the National Park Service with extensive leadership experience – nearly a decade of which was right here in the Valley as the chief park ranger at Great Sand Dunes National Park,” said Cathy Cook, Rocky Mountain District Manager. “We are truly fortunate to have found someone who is already familiar with our communities and has built relationships here.”
“It’s an incredible opportunity to be of service to this valley,” Culver said. “The people here have a deep connection to the land and it’s truly an honor to help ensure that land is well-managed”.
Culver has a bachelor’s degree in recreation from Western Colorado University and spent 25 years with the NPS before joining the Bureau of Land Management.
