Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA)

Propagation of Public Lands Enrichment

The U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement programs by using volunteers to help identify concerns and direct ground response. Cultural resource site stewards were trained on early detection of vandalism and looting of sites, methods for reporting such crimes, and the documentation necessary to support formal law enforcement investigations. Volunteers also helped by monitoring wilderness and critical habitat areas and documenting indicators of illegal activities. Specific emphasis was placed on those sites identified as most at risk. The Round 15 project closed in September 2021.
