The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming State Director Donald Simpson administered the oath of office to Mark Storzer as the new High Desert District Manager on May 8th in front of a crowded room of government representatives, land owners, and BLM employees at the BLM HDD Office in Rock Springs. Serena Baker says that Storzer has more than 25 years of federal service and returns to Wyoming from Eastern States where he worked in Milwaukee, Wisc. as the Northeastern States Field Office Manager.
The High Desert District encompasses approximately 9.4 million surface acres, which is roughly half the public land in Wyoming. It manages the Chokecherry/Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project, the largest wind energy project proposed on public land in North America, as well as the Continental-Divide Creston Oil and Gas Project, the largest oil and gas project on BLM-administered land in the United States. It is also the home of the first BLM wild horse ecosanctuary in the country, and there are more nesting pairs of ferruginous hawks found here, than anywhere in Wyoming.
Storzer grew up in Wisconsin and holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Natural Resource Management and Water Resource Management from the University of Wisconsin in Stevens Point.
