A more detailed agenda will be released in advance of the meeting.
The nine-member, all-volunteer advisory board typically meets twice per year. It provides recommendations to the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service on the management of wild horses and burros from the perspective of different interest groups. The board does not control BLM or USFS policy.
The Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture select board members based on education, training or experience that would enable them to represent a particular interest group.
RTF biologist Celeste Carlisle is in her second year on the board, representing wild horse and burro advocates.
