The PNMTA formed in 1998 in response to concerns over the redirection of policy in the Pine Nut Mountain range. The
revised use plan is still being finalized as of this writing. We're still here and we still care.
We have been part of the solution. One of our main activities is clean up events. so far we have organized or participated
in numerous cleanups. The PNMTA is responsible for over 2080 Cubic Yards of trash and 22 cars removed from
the Pine Nuts! We have also thrown ride-in picnic parties, and staged a pony express style multi use ride to deliver our formal
recommendations to the BLM office. A mtn. biker handed off to a four wheeler, handed off to a horse, handed off to a motorcycle,
handed off to a runner. PNMTA members have shown up to countless planning and comment gathering meetings. Participation in the
process is a key to success. One of my favorite quotes is: "You can't get in the game if you don't suit up". This applies
to land use activism as well as sports.
