Bureau of Land Management is seeking public nominations for four positions on its Northern New Mexico Resource Advisory Council, which advises the BLM on public land issues within the Farmington District and Rio Puerco Field Office. BLM will consider nominations until Nov. 1.
The Northern New Mexico RAC, made up of residents chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, helps the BLM carry out its stewardship of more than 3 million acres of public lands.

Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council. Nominees must be residents of the state of New Mexico. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations, a completed RAC application and any other information that speaks to the nominee’s qualifications.
