Ely, Nev. – Mindy Seal is settling into her new position as Bristlecone Field Manager for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely District.
Seal knows eastern Nevada’s public lands and issues having grown up on family ranches in Lincoln, Nye and White Pine counties. She and husband Tyler raised their children here and continue to make this their home.
Seal began her BLM career in 2005 as an administrative assistant in the Ely District Office. She subsequently held several positions, including that of natural resource specialist, while simultaneously performing as the lead for several projects and or programs. In 2013, Seal was selected as Assistant Field Manager for Non-Renewable Resources in what was known as the Egan Field Office, a position she held until assuming responsibility as Associate District Manager in June 2015. This past summer she served as advisor to the BLM Director in Washington, D.C.
"Mindy's breadth of knowledge and experience with grazing management, minerals, and the National Environmental Policy Act make her the ideal choice to help lead and direct the Bristlecone Field Office forward into the future,” Michael Herder, BLM Ely District Manager, said.
“It is a privilege to work with people who value and cherish our public lands and I look forward to working together to fulfill today’s demands and tomorrow’s dreams,” said Seal.
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.
