BLM Collaborates with Partners for the Black Rock Rendezous

Winnemucca, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Black Rock Field Office with partnering agencies is hosting the annual Black Rock Rendezvous event on May 22-25. BLM, Friends of Black Rock High Rock, Friends of Nevada Wilderness, and Nevada Outdoor School offer a three-day, environmentally friendly, camp-out event for volunteers to start off the summer season.

The event includes public lands service projects, family-friendly activities, and guided natural and cultural interpretive tours. Participants will be able to participate in a Dutch oven cook-off on Saturday evening and a potluck dinner on Sunday evening. Musicians will be able to share their talent with their instrument of choice around the campfire on both nights.
