The Geotourism Council continues to work with the National Geographic Society to create a Sierra Nevada Geotourism Map Guide and Web site, and they want nominations for distinctive sites of interest by Oct. 31.

Sierra residents, visitors, community organizations, tourism stakeholders and local businesses are asked to nominate sites for potential inclusion in the print Map Guide and interactive Web site.

To nominate a site, fill out an electronic site nomination form on www.SierraNevadaGeotourism.org or complete the printed form by hand, and submit to Sierra Business Council, P.O. Box 2428, Truckee, CA, 96160 or fax to 530-582-1230 .

"This is an excellent opportunity for Madera County; the marketing exposure it will give our county is enormous," said Julie Herd with the Madera County Economic Development Commission.
