Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Barstow Field Office, has announced dates, times, and locations of public meetings to allow public input in the development of the Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area Management Plan.

The goal of public input is to assess a variety of issues and proposed solutions. Comments and concerns regarding land use, off-highway vehicle area access, visitor services, off-highway vehicle recreational opportunities, facilities, resource values and monitoring are welcomed.

Public meetings will be held at the following locations:

Thursday, April 28, 2016, 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
California Desert District Office
22835 Calle San Juan de Los Lagos

The Rasor OHV Area is accessible from Interstate 15 via Basin Road or Rasor Road exits. The OHV area is bordered by the Afton Canyon Natural Area to the west and the Mojave National Preserve to the east. The recreation area contains diverse terrain, ideal for sand-area OHV recreation. The topography varies from flat, sandy areas on the west and south, to the popular sand dunes on the east, and steep, rugged hills on the north. The area offers other recreational activities as well, including rock hounding, wildlife observation, sightseeing, photography, hiking and rock climbing.

For further information, contact Zachary Pratt, Outdoor Recreation Supervisor, Barstow Field Office, 760-252-6040.

Thanks in advance and, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.
