Come join us, and help clean up a little bit of BLM land. Depending on where you go, the terrain could be from a 1.5 to a 3.5.
Nevada contains forty-eight million acres of public land, amounting to 63 percent of the state, managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In 1971, wild horses were added to the BLM’s mission by the Wild Horse and Burro Act. BLM’s stewardship of public land in Nevada continues. Today, Nevada is home to the largest special recreation permit, the annual Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert. Because this is Federal land, it belongs to us, to use pretty much as we wish. Unfortunately, this makes keeping it clean a bit difficult. Today we'll try to clean up some of the trash left by people using (and abusing) the land in this area.
If the wild horses are present, please do not bother them. Enjoy their spectacular, rugged beauty from afar.
Do not retrieve any liquid from any container. Note it's location, and let us know. Do not retrieve any "sharps," that is...no needles, razor blades or anything like that. Again, note it's location and let us know.
Bring gloves, grabbers, wear closed toed shoes. Trash bags will be provided. Water will be available, as will some snacks. Park anywhere in the area, the gate is unlocked...it's just there to keep the horses from roaming getting to the road.
Let's have some fun while cleaning up the environment.
