0 Comments

 
Tonopah, NV -- The Battle Mountain District, Tonopah Field Office will celebrate National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 27, 2014, with two great volunteer events in Central Nevada.

Crescent Sand Dunes Recreation Area – Work will occur at the Crescent Sand Dunes Recreation Area on public land near Tonopah, starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers can help clean up the picnic area and remove debris. Due to the deep sand about one-quarter of a mile from the work site, please call Ben Cramer to get specific road condition and access information prior to your arrival.

Rhyolite Historic Town Site – Meet at the Kelly Bottle House in the Historic Rhyolite Ghost Town, near Beatty starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers can help pick up litter and removing debris.

This year marks the 21st celebration of NPLD, so join volunteers across the United States in helping to restore the beauty and vitality of our public lands. Volunteers receive a free tee-shirt as a thank you for their help on our Nation’s largest, one-day, volunteer event - National Public Lands Day 2014.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to manage and conserve the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2013, the BLM generated $4.7 billion in receipts from public lands.
