ELY, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management Ely District, Bristlecone Field Office invites the public to participate in a planning workshop for the Garnet Hill Recreation Area Management Plan. The workshop is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022, at the Bristlecone Convention Center, 150 Sixth Street, in Ely, Nev.
The field office is planning to improve the Garnet Hill Recreation Area and Egan Crest trail systems located about 10 miles west of Ely. Improvements include upgrading roadways, enlarging existing trailheads, adding overnight campgrounds, and constructing signed motorized and non-motorized trails systems. All facilities and some trails would be ADA accessible. Funding for the capital improvement project was provided through Round 18 of the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act.
“The BLM will also develop a Recreation Area Management Plan addressing how we manage and maintain the new recreation area, and future visitor use. We therefore want to engage local governments, key stakeholders, and resource users to ensure that we identify the public’s needs and desired outcomes,” said John Miller, BLM Bristlecone Field Office outdoor recreation planner.
Miller said the workshop will include a 6 p.m. presentation describing the project, an outline of the planning process, and instructions on how the public can participate. A question-and-answer session will follow.
For more information, contact John Miller, BLM Bristlecone Field Office outdoor recreation planner, at 775-289-1834 or jrmiller@blm.gov
