- Mission [1]
- The Northwest RAC provides BLM management with diverse viewpoints on a wide variety of public land issues. The Northwest RAC
functions as a 15-member committee, as well as through working groups, addressing fire policy, weed eradication, wildlife
issues, cultural resources, recreation issues, wild horses and burro policy, and wilderness. The Northwest RAC acts as advisors
to the BLM. Several topics are addressed annually, including range management and ecology training, fire management, wilderness
and recreation issues, and coordination with the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. Working groups meet on their
own time outside of the RAC meetings and present their findings to the entire RAC. Operating by consensus, recommendations
are made to the BLM by the RAC after the entire RAC has carefully reviewed an issue and listened to their constituents. The
BLM uses these recommendations as appropriate to assist in making decisions.
