The Bureau of Land Management has named Kimberly Dow as district manager of the Carson City district.
Dow will take the helm of the district in late August, according to a news release.
“Kim is a respected, proven leader in BLM Nevada with a track record of getting things done. She also has an incredible level of knowledge and diverse experience,” BLM Nevada State Director Jon Raby said in a news release. “We are all excited to have Kim leading such an important district for BLM Nevada.”
Dow most recently served as the Sierra Front field manager for the Carson City district.
Dow started her career with the BLM as a volunteer, later becoming an intern through the Student Career Experience Program. After graduating college, Dow began her permanent career as a wildlife biologist in BLM California’s Folsom Field Office.
In 2006, she joined BLM Nevada holding several positions at the Nevada state office, including management and program analyst, natural resource specialist, fisheries program lead, renewable energy coordinator, and branch chief for renewable resources.
"I am eager to start the next chapter of my career with Carson City District Office and continue building our partnerships. This district offers countless opportunities for people to explore and enjoy their public lands,” Dow said in the release. “It is exciting to be part of this team."
Dow is a California native and a graduate of California State University Sacramento, with a Bachelor of Science in Conservation Biology.
Dow’s time away from work is spent with her family participating in Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and sports.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.
