BLM Nevada Cultural and Paleontological Resource Management Grant

The BLM Nevada Cultural Heritage and Paleontology Resource Management Program and the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative Group seek to establish partnerships that collaboratively encourage the public to learn about and engage with heritage resources in Nevada, with the goals of creating a conservation stewardship legacy second only to Teddy Roosevelt, restoring trust and being a good neighbor, and sustainably developing energy and natural resources. The Cultural Heritage and Paleontology Resource Management Programs achieve these goals by:

— Protecting and preserving cultural heritage and paleontological resources for the benefit of future generations;
— Improving professional and/or public understanding of the nation’s cultural and natural history;
— Providing educational, recreational, and economic opportunities for local communities and the public;
— Increasing American Indian access to locations and natural resources important to traditional cultural practices and beliefs; and
— Managing heritage resource collections and associated records to appropriate standards, and providing access to the public and American Indians.
