We love Gold Butte National Monument with all its natural wonders and majestic scenery. Let’s give back and show the place a little love this Valentine’s Day!

Join the Friends of Gold Butte as we pick up debris and garbage for a couple of hours and then gather for lunch, and a Valentine treat. Meet at the Friends of Gold Butte Visitor Center, 12 W. Mesquite Blvd, Suite 106 at 9:00 am and then we will caravan to the work site. We are going to begin preparing for the vault toilet, which will be installed around the first of March. Those of you who have 4WD vehicles can choose to go further up the road, and the rest of us can work along the road where 4WD isn’t necessary. Either way, we will be back in plenty of time for date night with your honey so no worries there.

Friends of Gold Butte will supply buckets, trash bags, gloves and a Valentine treat. Be sure and dress appropriately for the weather, and wear something you don’t mind getting dirty. We will be back by early afternoon so you’ll still have time to buy the requisite card/flowers/candy/etc.

• What to bring
Bring plenty of water and a lunch for yourself, and remember to wear sunscreen, closed toe shoes and a hat.

Gold Butte National Monument is primitive and has no services of any kind. Event participants must bring and carry their own water, food, sunscreen, basic first-aid items, any medications (e.g., EpiPen or asthma inhalers, etc.) a participant may need, and any other supplies they may want or need while participating in the event. Participants must wear appropriate footwear for the event (for example, for trash-clean-up events, sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots would be appropriate). Participants are strongly encouraged to wear broad-brimmed hats and dress in weather-appropriate clothing when participating outdoors. Participants are reminded to be plant and animal aware at all times. Finally, if the event necessitates, participants are strongly encouraged to provide their medical information (pre-existing conditions, medications, etc.) and their Emergency Contact information (name and phone number) on a card or piece of paper in a sealed envelope with their name on the outside. The volunteer organizer will collect and hold the envelopes during the event and return them, unopened, at the conclusion of the event if they are not needed; and the assumption of risk statement found at In-person Assumption of Risk
