Sand Mountain, NV - Temporary Closures coming?
#1
From the BLM Carson City Calendar
4/29-30: Sierra Front-Northwestern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council Meeting, Fallon Convention Center, Oasis Room, 100 Campus Way (one block north of U.S. Highway 50), Fallon, Nevada. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Meeting will include a field trip to Sand Mountain Recreation Area on April 30, 2003.
Agenda will be available on-line no later than April 15, 2003. Contact Mark Struble, BLM Public Affairs Officer, BLM-Carson City Field Office, (775) 885-6107 for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the final agenda is published, I will post it on the Friends of Sand Mountain website.
We know that day #2 (4/30) will focus on issues at Sand Mountain. It will begin in Fallon, and then move to Sand Mountain for a "tour". Friends of Sand Mountain, The Nature Conservancy and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone tribe will all have 1/2 hour to present information.
Hot topics will include:
- Fees (Friends of Sand Mountain will push for some type of oversite committee)
- New Rules & Regulations
- Sensitive Species issues (Sand Mountain Blue Butterfly, etc.) This discussion will most likely include BLM recommended closures due to habitat damage caused by OHVs.
If you have not done so already, please take a moment to review the Help protect your right to ride document that describes Sand Mountain Blue Butterfly issues.

Friends of Sand Mountain is an all volunteer organization that depends on donations to continue the fight. More information on how you can sponsor us at: Donations. T-shirts should also be available over Spring Break.
We are hosting a cleanup just a few days before (April 26) the RAC tour. It is obviously a good idea for us to show the RAC that users don't leave trash everywhere. If you can help with the cleanup, please shout.
