BLM seeks nominations for advisory councils

PORTLAND — The Bureau of Land Management seeks public nominations for open positions on 34 Resource Advisory Councils, including six in Oregon and two in Washington state.

Advisory councils are composed of 10-15 members who help the BLM carry out its stewardship of 245 million acres of public lands. They are citizens who have interests or expertise in public land management, including conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, tribal officials and academics.
