UTV Volunteers Help Protect Archaeological Sites

November 2025

On a beautiful Sunday morning, volunteers from the Dunes and Trails UTV Club joined NVFCP in the field to install 10 new educational signs aimed at protecting sensitive archaeological sites. Their support was invaluable—not only could their UTVs reach areas that a standard work truck simply couldn’t, but they also came equipped with an electric jackhammer and generator. Thanks to their tools (and enthusiasm), we saved our backs and shoulders and were able to set the signs deeply and securely for long-term durability.

After several productive hours of hauling equipment, digging holes, and setting signs, the team enjoyed a well-earned break by exploring part of a soon-to-be-designated off-road trail within the BLM Red Rock National Conservation Area. The route offered a mix of fun and occasionally challenging segments, all surrounded by the stunning scenery that makes the Red Rock NCA such a special place.

It was a fantastic day of stewardship, adventure, and partnership. Huge thanks to our UTV friends for their commitment to protecting Nevada’s cultural resources!
