The Bureau of Land Management’s Northwest Resource Advisory Council will meet Dec. 4 at the Gateway Canyons Resort.

The meeting is open to the public, with public comment periods scheduled for 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The meeting will include updates from BLM field offices in northwest Colorado, including work on the Grand Junction resource management plan, as well as information on planning for priority species and the use of beetles to control tamarisk.

The Northwest Resource Advisory Council is one of three advisory councils to the BLM in Colorado. Composed of 15 members appointed by the Interior Secretary, individuals serving in each council are supposed to represent a broad range of public land interests, including environmental, local government and commercial activity. The Northwest Resource Advisory Council advises the Grand Junction, White River, Little Snake, Kremmling and Glenwood Springs BLM field offices.
