Pine Forest Wilderness Boundary Marking #1
ORGANIZATION: Friends of Nevada Wilderness
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join Friends of Nevada Wilderness as we venture into the beautiful Pine Forest Range Wilderness to mark Wilderness Area boundaries and restore trespass routes. This weekend will be full of adventure, hard work, camping, great food, and much, much more.
Boundary marking is a great way to explore and get to know an area with good people, encourage responsible recreational use, and maintain the pristine nature of Wilderness.
As usual, Friends of Nevada Wilderness will provide a decadent meal Saturday night and breakfasts each morning, complete with hot coffee, tea and cocoa.
Spots are limited, so be sure to RSVP early and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Mission Statement
Friends of Nevada Wilderness is 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 public wild lands.
Description
Are you interested in volunteering outside, exploring remote wild lands, taking care of your local public lands, making friends? Join Friends of Nevada Wilderness on a volunteer stewardship trip! Together we can keep our public lands and wilderness areas safe and clean. We would love to see you at our next stewardship project.
Friends of Nevada Wilderness organizes volunteer restoration trips to help wild landscapes recover from noxious weeds, illegal vehicle use, and other impacts (because official designations do not guarantee on-the-ground protection). Our volunteers also "adopt" areas to monitor their condition and advocate for their protection. Volunteers get to work with others to heal our wild places. These trips are fun, rewarding, and can be a great way to meet new Friends. All volunteers are welcome! We have volunteer opportunities for every skill level, ranging from getting out on the ground and pulling fence, picking up trash, naturalizing old roads, planting seedlings, monitoring wilderness, and yanking invasive plants to helping with outreach events and office tasks.
By helping citizens actively restore wild lands, we help build in them a greater sense of responsibility and stewardship.
