This month, our team traveled to the Naval Air Station in Fallon, NV to participate in an educational Earth Day event. Now I know what you are thinking. Is that the Fallon, NV where they shot the majority of the air sequences to the 1986 action film Top Gun? YES. Yes it is. \u00a0It was an honor to represent the BLM at the scene where such epic cinematic history occurred. To be working in the place that singer\/songwriter Kenny Loggins fearlessly referred to as the Danger Zone was literally a dream come true.<\/p>\n
At the event, we had a variety of activities for everyone. Busloads of\u00a0kindergartners\u00a0enjoyed leaf rubbings and coloring Gordon Lightfoot, the squirrel who teaches the importance of treading lightly. Others tested their knowledge in our quizzical trash game and the edible\/poisonous plant challenge, \u201cTasty or Deadly\u201d. Ecosystem Jenga demonstrated the interconnectedness of the environmental and how disturbance can be disruptive. \u00a0Overall, it was fun to interact with the public and to provide educational opportunities to children living in and around the Danger Zone.<\/p>\n
