The BLM Appointed Advisory Board will meet Oct 4-6 at the Bureau of Land Management’s National Training Center located at 9828 N. 31st Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona.

You can watch live at this link beginning at 8 a.m. Pacific time each day: https://www.blm.gov/live

Public comments will be given Tuesday, October 4, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. PT; on Wednesday, October 5, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. PT; and on Thursday, October 6, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Public comment slots via Zoom are all filled (pre-registration was required). In person commenters can register on-site. WHE does plan to comment and, as usual, waits until the last day. We like to listen to the board before to determine which area to focus the 2-3 minute allotted time to our response.

Meeting materials and presentations can be found on the Advisory Board page HERE.

The agenda for the meeting is below. Most of us have very busy days. Taking a peek at the agenda can help you determine when to tune in on the live link. In the past, anything marked subcommittee has been “backroom” and not viewed by the public. However, in this years announcement BLM says broadcasts will begin at 8 a.m. each day. We can not confirm if the press release failed to note distinction or if this year the subcommittees will also be broadcast.

We are working on a fiscal year 2022 breakdown that we hope to publish before the board adjourns on October 6.

Help keep us in the fight.
