WINNEMUCCA - Do you enjoy recreating outdoors? Have you been out to the Santa Rosa Ranger District in Paradise Valley? Are you interested in making a difference? Friends of Nevada Wilderness is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving all qualified Nevada public lands as wilderness, protecting all present and potential wilderness from ongoing threats, educating the public about the values of, and need for wilderness, and improving the management and restoration of wild lands.
One of the ways they meet their mission is by "on the ground" stewardship. "Friends" has been working with volunteers across Nevada since 1984 and will continue stewardship projects this 2013 field season in the Santa Rosa Ranger District in Paradise Valley.
Friends of Nevada Wilderness will work alongside local volunteers March through September on a wide range of stewardship projects. Efforts will include a series of planting projects on fire damaged land to restore crucial wildlife habitat and native species to the area. Other events may include range monitoring, trail work, maintenance on the beautiful Lye Creek Campground, fence removal, and more! Each of these projects will help to restore, protect, and preserve the land for future generations.
"Friends" is looking forward to working with local volunteers who enjoy recreating in the outdoors from Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Lovelock, Reno and the surrounding areas. Whether you enjoy hunting, hiking, camping, biking, bird watching, riding ATVs, or fishing, consider joining "Friends" to preserve and positively impact the beauty and diversity of what the Santa Rosa Ranger District has to offer northern Nevadans. Projects are open to all ages despite outdoor experience or prior skills. Get your friends, family, coworkers, team, or self together and join "Friends" to make an incredible difference for wild Nevada!
