Northwest RAC Members

Northwest RAC members represent a broad range of interests in three categories, with five members assigned to each category. Category 1 members represent commercial interests or users such as livestock grazing, the energy industry, off-highway vehicle groups, and commercial outfitters. Category 2 members represent environmental organizations, archaeological and historical interests, wildlife organizations, wild horse and burro advocates, and dispersed recreation. Category 3 members represent government agencies and elected officials, tribes, academic institutions, and the public at large.

We strive to balance RAC membership with a diverse representation of interests between and across categories each year.
