Nevada’s outdoor recreation industry is organizing

By C. Moon Reed | Originally published in the Las Vegas Sun April 6, 2018

Nevada’s outdoor recreation industry generates $12.6 billion annually and 87,000 jobs. That’s more jobs than I.T. and mining combined.

With the recent creation of the Nevada Outdoor Business Coalition, the recreation industry is growing. Formed in December, the group’s first Las Vegas meeting occurred last month. The coalition plans to promote and advocate for the state’s recreation economy, and is open to anybody in the industry, from individuals who lead hiking tours to larger entities such as ski resorts and race organizers.

The next meeting, on April 26, will bring together Northern and Southern Nevada interests. Since the coalition is so new, it doesn’t yet have a website, but you can contact the organizers via the nonprofit organization Get Outdoors Nevada.

Tomorrow marks the 30th year celebrating National Public Lands Day!

Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is traditionally the nation's largest single-day volunteer effort. It celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits.

We are grateful for our public lands, which support Nevada’s outdoor economy and our communities. Whether you’re hiking, biking, fishing, or camping, we hope you celebrate the beauty and diversity of Nevada’s landscapes tomorrow and all year round!

Learn more about National Public Lands Day and find some nearby events at www.nps.gov.

And don't forget to visit a national park for free tomorrow!
