Medford District BLM Gets New Boss

BLM

No federal agency is responsible for managing as much land as the Bureau of Land Management. 

And no BLM district in the country has more people working for it than the Medford District.  So it's a big job; somebody's got to do it. 

That somebody is now Elizabeth Burghard, appointed to the post this year to replace Dayne Barron.  So what IS it like running an agency that is often caught between highly motivated stakeholders?  We bring Burghard into the studio to ask that and more.
