Douglas County, Nevada is holding a series of five public open house meetings regarding a proposed congressional conservation bill. The bill will affect many parcels of land in the county that are currently managed by various federal agencies. One of the areas in the bill is the Burbank Canyons Wilderness Study Area on the eastern side of the Pine Nut Mountains.
Yesterday, Chris Dickerson of Sierra 4x4, and I, met with Dominique Etchegoyhen of Legacy Land and Water. His firm has been hired by the county to manage the public process on this bill. We spent several hours looking at maps and satellite photos and talking about off-highway access, fishing, hunting, backpacking, mountain biking, mining, economic development, and why we like living in a rural community. Tomorrow Chris and I will drive up to the Burbank Canyon WSA, get some GPS data, and take some pictures.
I plan to be at the Monday evening open house. Give a shout if you plan to go.
