The Sierra Front Field Office, in Carson City, Nevada, has started to put together an Adopt a Space program for volunteer groups. The program will coordinate with these groups to choose an area for them to help keep clean by picking up garbage that has been illegally dumped.

PNMTA has met with the BLM, discussing our annual cleanup and pinpointing some of the usual illegal dump spots. Also discussed was the possible coordination between other volunteer groups and PNMTA’s  annual cleanup.

More information can be obtained by calling the BLM Sierra Front Field Office at 775-885-6000, or by stopping in and picking up a flier about the program. The office is located at 5665 Morgan Mill Rd., (corner of Deer Run Rd.) Carson City, Nevada 89701.
