Gold Butte National Monument protects priceless beauty, wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and recreational opportuntiies.
It's also threatened by off-road vehicle abuse, overuse, vandalism and ignorance.
Your voice is needed to help draft a management plan to protects its values for future generations.

The Bureau of Land Management Southern Nevada District will be holding two virtual information forums to involve the public in the early stages of a proposed management plan for the Gold Butte National Monument, which was designated by President Obama in 2016 after decades of advocacy by Sierra Club and our conservation partners.
The virtual information forums will be held online on February 15 and 17, 2022, from 6pm to 8 p.m. Pacific Time. Registration for the forum, and more information on the area, is available here. Those unable to attend the meeting, who wish to provide input later, may email BLM_NV_LVFO_GoldButte@blm.gov until March 3, 2022.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal information, know that this information will become public. Anonymity is not allowed for submissions from organizations, businesses, or individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses.
