Ely, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely District is consolidating the Egan and Schell Field Offices into one field office to be named the Bristlecone Field Office. Following the consolidation, the Ely District will consist of the Bristlecone and Caliente Field Offices, and Basin and Range National Monument.
The District is also realigning field office boundaries along county lines. The Bristlecone Field Office will be the point of contact for all matters pertaining to BLM-administered lands in White Pine County and the portion of Nye County within the District. The Caliente Field Office will be the point of contact for all public lands-related matters in Lincoln County. Basin and Range National Monument boundaries will remain the same.
The reorganization is expected to take about six months to complete. All current offices in Ely and Caliente will remain open.
