Welcome to the Mojave Southern-Great Basin RAC

What is a RAC?

A Resource Advisory Council (RAC) assists the BLM as a sounding board for BLM initiatives, regulatory proposals, and policy changes. Each RAC consists of a 15-member advisory panel that provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management for 47.5 million acres (67 percent of the state) of BLM-administered lands in Nevada.

The Councils consist of citizens with diverse interests in public land management, including conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, and energy industry representatives.

"Resource Advisory Councils serve an incredibly important role to the Bureau of Land Management by sharing critical advice and perspectives about policy implementation and on-the-ground management considerations,” states Jon Raby, BLM Nevada State Director. “They are vital to sound decision making and helping move Nevada forward in the right way."

The Mojave Southern-Great Basin RAC is one of Nevada's two RACs

The Mojave Southern-Great Basin RAC includes BLM managed lands in the following districts of Nevada:

• Southern Nevada District

• Ely District
