The BLM Twin Falls District RAC is a 15-member advisory panel that provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management issues for approximately 3.9 million acres of federal public lands within 10 counties in south-central Idaho. Meetings are open to the public, and attendees are welcome to address the council during the comment period from 8:15-8:45 a.m. This forum provides a good 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.
