“We are looking forward to discussing the Keysville area with the public and our partners as well as impacts of increased recreation, projects throughout the district, and wildland fire prevention activities,” said Central Coast District Manager Chris Heppe. “By getting involved in these efforts, we all can help shape the future management of our public lands.”

The public will be given an opportunity to address the RAC during the meeting at noon. Time for individual public comments may be limited due to the number of persons wishing to speak. Written statements to address the council may also be sent prior to the meeting to the BLM Central California District Office, Attention: RAC meeting comments, 5152 Hillsdale Circle, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762.
The 12-member council advises the Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of planning and management issues associated with BLM public lands in central California. The BLM maintains 38 chartered advisory committees throughout the West. Each citizen-based council consists of members from diverse interests in local communities, who assist in the development of committee recommendations by sharing their unique perspectives.

Wherever your summer vacation is taking you, REAL ID is your ticket to fly! This time next summer, federal regulations will require you to show a REAL ID driver’s license or another federally approved form of identification (passport, military ID, etc.) to travel within the U.S. and to visit secure federal facilities (military bases, federal courthouses). Note that a REAL ID cannot be used for international travel, a passport is still required.

Q1: My children are 7 and 11 years old. Will they need REAL IDs to fly to Florida next summer?

Q2: Which documents will I need to get a REAL ID?
