SNVBC holds first ever Bureau of Land Management (BLM) event permitting clinic

Did you know Southern Nevada is one of the top 20 places in the country to mountain bike (http://www.blm.gov/mountainbike/)? Did you know that 80% of the state is federal land- meaning federal land managers, like the BLM are responsible for protecting the land from over use? The primary mechanism they use to ensure conservation of our resources is via special use permits.

SNVBC teamed up with BLM to host a short educational class on special event permitting. BLM staff lead off-road bike event promoters and other interested parties through the BLM event permitting process. Attendees learned what activities require permits, what doesn’t, what constitutes a complete event operational plan, and who to contact if you have questions. BLM recommended calling before you start to ensure you provide all the necessary information the first time around.

Special thanks to Las Vegas Cyclery for offering to hold the event at their store!
