do?

The duners themselves of the
Dumont
Dunes
community who share the common
interest of duning and having a good
time in a safe, friendly and
responsible manner with respect for
each other. Dumont Dune Riders

DumontDuneRiders.com
- "keeping you connected with
Dumont": This site is

We strive to provide you with
the latest Dumont news,
information, events, pictures,
videos, chat, etc.
The DDR forum is a great place to
stay connected with friends and
other duners of Dumont. If you
haven't registered yet, go ahead
and do so. This site is free of
charge to all members.
 FoDD/
Friends of Dumont Dunes:
This organization was created to
represent all users of the Dumont
Dunes and provides those Dune users
with a strong, united voice to the
Bureau of Land Management and other
appropriate political, legislative
and land management agencies, while
promoting safe, responsible and
proper use of the Dumont Dunes. An
all-volunteer, user-based
organization, Friends of Dumont
Dunes is on the forefront of issues
impacting the Dumont Dunes, acting
as liaisons in the ongoing battle
for the rights of the duning
community and focusing on enhancing
the off-road experience of all
Dumont Dunes users. FoDD is the
group that organizes the Dumont
Dunes cleanups as well.
 BLM/
Bureau of Land Management:
BLM Rangers, as uniformed Federal
law enforcement officers:
-Enforce Federal laws and
regulations governing the public
lands and resources.
-Provide a regular and reoccurring
presence over the public land.
-Take appropriate actions when any
unauthorized use or illegal activity
is detected, including conducting
investigations, issuing warnings and
citations, and making arrests.
-Work closely with local, county,
and state law enforcement officials
in conducting law enforcement and
search and rescue operations.
-Conduct informational and
educational programs
-Provide emergency medical aid.
-Monitor resource conditions.
-Eliminate hazardous situations.
TRT/
Technical Review Team:
On March 1, 2006, The Bureau of Land
Management's (BLM) Barstow Field
Office appointed eleven members to
serve on Dumont Dunes Technical
Review Team (TRT), which advises BLM
on the collection, expenditure, and
accountability of fees, and
development of future facilities and
services. This TRT was established
at the request of the BLM Desert
District Advisory Committee.
"The
Technical Review Team members act as
liaisons between the duning
community and the Bureau of Land
Management, which is the agency in
charge of managing the Dumont Dunes.
Communication is always important
but more so now that money is
flowing. Having a TRT should help
keep the BLM accountable to us, the
users." |
