Stone-Manning confirmed by Senate to lead BLM
The U.S. Senate today confirmed Tracy Stone-Manning today to lead the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The confirmation of Stone-Manning ends a four-year absence of a Senate-confirmed BLM director and does so at a time when healthy public lands are more vital to helping fight climate change than ever before.
In anticipation of the vote, The Wilderness Society released the following statement from Jamie Williams, president:
“Tracy Stone-Manning will be an exceptional leader of the Bureau of Land Management, bringing her decades of proven experience as a consensus builder and honest broker to ensure that public lands are managed to benefit everyone, not just a powerful few.
“As we witness climate change-fueled extreme weather happening with more intensity than ever before across the west, we are long overdue for a leader of Stone-Manning’s caliber who will ensure public lands are central to confronting the climate crisis.”
