The McInnis Canyons and Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Areas in Utah will have a new manager.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced Amber Koski will fill the post in an Oct. 24 news release.
“Amber brings a diversity of experience to BLM Colorado and our National Conservation Areas,” Greg Wolfgang, BLM Grand Junction field manager, said in the release. “We are excited to welcome Amber to western Colorado’s amazing communities, partners and landscapes.”
Koski will join the BLM Grand Junction team Nov. 6. She will be responsible for the two National Conversation Areas that includes more than 330,000 acres of public land that are known for their breathtaking scenery of the Gunnison and Colorado River canyons, the release said.
“My husband and two children are thrilled to be moving to western Colorado and becoming a part of the community.” Koski said in the release. “I look forward to engaging in the wonderful partnerships within BLM Colorado, as well as serving our public, staff and the amazing public lands we manage.”
Koski is no stranger to the BLM, having previously served as the planning and environmental coordinator for BLM Utah in the Green River District in Vernal, Utah. While she was in that position, Koski coordinated six resource management plan amendments that spanned three field offices and two districts for lands designated under the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act, the release reported.
