The Bureau of Land Management will hold a public meeting to welcome and value diverse views on a Public Comment Guide template for the Draft Resource Management Plan and associated Environmental Impact Statement. The Public Comment Guide template is designed to help the public better understand the Draft RMP/EIS and prepare to make substantive comments to the alternatives in the document. The meeting will be held at the Woodman Hall on Lopez on Thursday, Sept. 7 from 6 until 8 p.m.
