On Sept. 17, the meeting will be held at the Winnemucca BLM District office at 5100 East Winnemucca Blvd., from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 18, the RAC will attend a field tour to the Owyhee Desert.

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in planning and discussion of issues related to management of BLM-administered public lands. The Sierra Front-Northwestern Great Basin RAC is one of three such councils in Nevada that accommodates this community participation directive. Represented on the council are commercial and non-commercial users that include elected officials and state agencies, environmental, livestock, mining, and wild horse and burro interests.
