BLM Ely District to conduct recreation-focused outreach meetings

The Bureau of Land Management invites the public to participate in recreation-focused outreach meetings.

The meetings seek to engage the public, including local leaders, business owners, residents and visitors that either participate in outdoor activities or have a stake in the quality of the experience for those who recreate on BLM-managed lands. The outreach effort will provide BLM with the public’s perceptions, opinions, preferences, and attitudes about the management of the landscape as a public outdoor recreation area. Through an interactive group setting, participants will be encouraged to speak freely and answer questions, such as:

• What are the qualities of BLM-managed lands in Nevada that make it a special place for recreation?
• How does recreation in the area near you affect your quality of life?
• What are your management priorities for the public lands in your area?

The BLM will conduct two in-person meetings at the Ely District Office, 702 North Industrial Way, in Ely, to accommodate the public:

• 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday, June 24, 2024
• 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Four additional online meetings are scheduled for August 13 and 15, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
