LBL Advisory Board seeks new local members

As part of the Land Between the Lakes Recreation and Heritage Act, LBL’s Lakes Advisory Board is being revamped and new members are being sought.

The 13-member volunteer panel meets twice annually to discuss matters concerning LBL's land and resource management, its use by the public and environmental education. 

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture conducts the board made up of local, invested citizens to serve five-year terms.

The USDA Forest Service is conducting a broad outreach to provide the Secretary of Agriculture with a list of candidates.

Thirteen members will be selected:

— Four of them will be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture;
— Two will be residents from the State of Kentucky;
— Two will be residents from the State of Tennessee;
— Two will be appointed by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commissioner;
— One will be appointed by the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commissioner;
— And two will be selected by officials from Trigg, Lyon and Stewart counties.

Those with questions or interest in serving should contact the USDA by email: christine.bombard@usda.gov  .
