Northern Nevada Off Highway Vehicle Summit
November 1-3, 2018

The event will take place at the Bristlecone Convention Center, on November 1st & 2nd with a group ride of the local trails on Saturday November 3rd. This event is hosted by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in partnership with the Great Basin Institute, it is free to attend and everyone is encouraged to bring their OHVs for the Saturday ride. Breakout sessions and small group discussions will take place Friday after lunch on topics of your choice but are sure to include: securing grant funding and utilizing Avenza maps.

The OHV Summit will focus on developments in the OHV grants program, current projects around the state, responsible recreation, and local trails. Our goal for the first summit is to identify new project areas, create a collaboration between user groups and land managers, and provide education for responsible recreation.
