August 27, 2021

On behalf of the Public Lands Council Board of Directors and Executive Committee, we invite you to attend the 2021 Public Lands Council Virtual Annual Meeting on Tuesday, September 28, 2021. While we originally planned to see you in Seaside, due to increased COVID-19 cases, we have made the difficult decision to move Annual Meeting to a virtual format. 

Public Lands Council Virtual Annual Meeting

Join us as livestock producers from across the West convene to craft policy for PLC, hear from federal agency and industry leaders, and discuss the most urgent issues facing federal grazing permittees. This event marks an outstanding opportunity to gather information for your audience on issues like natural resource management, wildlife, drought, and more. Volunteer leaders and staff members from PLC will be available after the meeting for interview opportunities.
