Eastern Idaho Resource Advisory Committee to meet in May
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The Caribou-Targhee National Forest’s Eastern Idaho Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) will meet on May 19, 2021.
Agenda items include electing a chairman, approving operating procedures and reviewing and allocating funds for different project proposals on public lands.
“Resource Advisory Councils are critical elements of our collaborative approach to public land management,” said Mel Bolling, Forest Supervisor. “Their diverse perspectives provide us insight to project development and implementation, and we thank them for volunteering their time and talents to improve public lands at the local level.”
The Eastern Idaho RAC was established in 2001 and is looking to distribute one million dollars for projects on the Forest within an 11-county area. The committee provides input on projects that enhance forest health and economic improvements to the local community. Funds can be used for projects on the Forest or adjoining private lands that provide benefits to National Forests.
