In a significant appointment within the Bureau of Land Management, Matthew Magaletti has been named the Sierra Front Field Manager for the Carson City District. This new position marks a pivotal point in his career dedicated to public land management.
Magaletti’s journey with the BLM began through the Student Career Experience Program in Arizona.

His professional path led him from roles as a realty specialist to a land use planner in southern Arizona.
Before his current appointment in Nevada, Magaletti served as a BLM Policy Analyst in Washington D.C. He subsequently returned to the western states, taking on the role of Project Coordinator in Nevada. In this capacity, he successfully collaborated with various stakeholders, including government agencies and ranchers, to formulate land use strategies that safeguard sage grouse habitats while adhering to the BLM’s multiple-use mission.

Magaletti’s roots trace back to the outskirts of Tucson, AZ, where he grew up. He is an alumnus of Arizona State University, holding a master’s degree in environmental planning and a bachelor’s in landscape architecture.
