COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
This is Your Backyard (TIYB)
It sometimes comes as a surprise to newly relocated Nevadans—as well as visitors from other states and abroad—that southern Nevada is a fantastic outdoor destination. Las Vegas, Clark County, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City are situated in 7.5 million acres of public lands, many of which are connected by more than 1,000 miles of hiking and biking trails.
Get Outdoors Nevada has been a vital community partner in creating and coordinating programs and initiatives that connect residents and visitors to these beautiful outdoor avenues while focusing on the need to care for these places for generations to come!
Lake Mead Circle
Get Outdoors Nevada partners with the National Park Service to inspire people to support diverse projects and programs that preserve and protect Lake Mead National Recreation Area resources and enrich the visitor experience for present and future generations.
LV Healing Garden
Get Outdoors Nevada is the designated nonprofit partner for the LV Community Healing Garden Committee and the City of Las Vegas. GON manages and cares for this special community space. The Garden honors the lives lost on October 1, 2017. It also celebrates life, goodness, love and compassion.
Vegas Valley Rim Trail
Get Outdoors Nevada is an integral partner in a project to encircle the Las Vegas Valley with an uninterrupted, 100-mile loop trail for walking, running, and cycling. To date, Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, the City of North Las Vegas, the City of Henderson, the Regional Transportation Commission, the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition, and the Southern Nevada Agency Partnership have all passed resolutions in support of the initiative.
River Mountains Loop Trail
A public-private partnership that provides support to preserve and protect a 35-mile hiking and cycling path that links Henderson, Lake Mead, and Boulder City along gorgeous desert mountain terrain.
Lower Colorado River Water Trail Alliance
Get Outdoors Nevada is the home of this coalition, which obtained National Water Trails System status for the Black Canyon portion of the Colorado River (Hoover Dam to Davis Dam) with the goal of protecting the environment and promoting activities like kayaking, canoeing, fishing, cycling, hiking, and experiencing hot springs. Now this group is starting on the next segment.
Gold Butte National Monument Economic Analysis
Get Outdoors Nevada is committed to supporting informed dialogue about our public lands and natural resources. In 2016, Get Outdoors Nevada commissioned an economic analysis of the economic impacts of a potential Gold Butte National Monument.
