BLM and OHV Alliance Plan Red Lake Cleanup Day
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cody Field Office and the Northwest Wyoming Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Alliance will team up on Sunday, May 6, for a cleanup day at the Red Lake area, one mile south of Cody. The community is encouraged to attend.
Volunteers will meet at 1 p.m. at the Red Lake area. Bring gloves and wear your work clothes and boots or sturdy shoes. The cleanup will be followed by a trail ride and barbeque for volunteers.
Red Lake is a popular area used for hiking, mountain biking and motorcycle and OHV riding. The cleanup is being sponsored by several local businesses and the Park County Landfill.
For more information, contact Outdoor Recreation Planner Rory Glueckert in the Cody Field Office at 307-578-5900 or Dana Sander of the Northwest Wyoming OHV Alliance at 307-250-2018.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
