Red Rock visitors center giving away free vintage-style postcards

In celebration of its 70th anniversary and its #YourLandYourStory campaign, the Bureau of Land Management is giving away hundreds of commemorative retro-style postcards depicting Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

The 750 free vintage-style postcards are available at the Red Rock visitor center on a first-come, first-served basis, the BLM said in a release. The bureau’s #YourLandYourStory campaign, in coordination with the app Steller, urges visitors to create their own Steller stories using #YourLandYourStory and the app.

In addition to Red Rock Canyon’s postcards, 480 free postcards of the other National Conservation Lands within the BLM will be available.

Followers can also contribute photos of locations featured in the vintage-inspired postcards in a moderated BLM National Flickr group. After review for appropriateness, photos will be added to the group and may be used to create a Steller book with user photos for each location.

A final Steller book of contributed photos will be posted to the BLM National Steller account and promoted by Steller over Memorial Day weekend.

Congress designated the Red Rock National Conservation Area in 1990 as Nevada’s first national conservation area; it was only the seventh in the nation to be designated.
