NRPC looking for new members

What do wolves, grizzlies, geothermal energy, oil wells, Hot Springs State Park, irrigation water, and sage grouse all have in common? That’s easy – all are topics that have been addressed by the Hot Springs County Natural Resources Planning Committee (or “NRPC”). This diverse group of local residents functions as a “think tank,” discussing topics affecting state and federal lands and advising the County Commissioners of needed actions. It meets monthly, on the second Wednesday of the month, at 5:30 p.m. The Committee has prepared a policy document, The 2014 HSC Natural Resources Plan, which guides federal and state management of public lands. The meetings are open to the public, and anyone interested is welcome to sit in – or bring a concern to our attention.

 The NRPC is also looking for a few new members who have a strong interest in public land issues, and both town and county residents are welcome.  Anyone seeking more information should contact me at the County Courthouse, or contact me at 864-2961 or hscplanner@hscounty.com.

Happy New Year to all!
