Governor Sisolak signs partnership agreement to advance
sustainable, equitable, accessible outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Nevada
GENOA - Today, Governor Steve Sisolak joined with State and Federal officials from a dozen agencies to sign an agreement establishing a new Shared Stewardship partnership focused on outdoor recreation throughout Nevada. The new Nevada Agreement for Recreation Shared Stewardship is a strategic partnership that will serve as a model for multi-agency collaboration to address the multi-faceted challenges facing Nevada’s communities and natural environment, while advancing sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities and a vibrant outdoor economy for the state.
“The Nevada Agreement for Recreation Shared Stewardship is a huge victory for all Nevada families and visitors, and for our abundant natural, cultural, and recreational wonders that we cherish," said Governor Sisolak. “This multi-agency agreement builds on the strong spirit of collaboration that underpins our greatest successes in Nevada, furthering our collective effort to protect our natural environment, combat climate change, strengthen our recreation and ecotourism economy, and ensure equitable access for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to explore the outdoors and enjoy our state’s vast recreational splendor. I thank our State, Federal, and Tribal partners, along with the many conservation and recreation champions across Nevada, for your shared commitment to elevating Nevada's celebrated outdoor heritage every day."

Adding to these challenges, Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, and the demand for high-quality outdoor recreation is at an all-time high.
The Shared Stewardship agreement provides a framework that will help Nevada address these complex challenges head-on through a multi-agency partnership plan centered on the following goals and priorities:
