Toiyabe Range Trail Restoration
ORGANIZATION: Friends of Nevada Wilderness
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join us August 17th-19th in the beautiful Arc Dome Wilderness of central Nevada! The Toiyabe Range is home to towering peaks, Bighorn Sheep, trout-filled creeks, and beautiful hiking trails that are in need of some serious TLC.
We will be doing trail restoration work on the eastern side of the Toiyabe Range, most likely Jett Creek. The work will mainly be cutting back vegetation that is encroaching on the trails and some light tread-work. Help us keep the Arc Dome Wilderness accessible to hikers, horse-packers, and peak-baggers!
As always, delicious dutch oven dinners will be served up Saturday night, and there will be a comprehensive breakfast spread each morning at the camp (including coffee!). If you want a ride out there in our truck contact us ASAP because space is limited!
We're very thrilled to be able to visit and work in this wild, gorgeous part of Nevada. It's going to be a fun time with great people, so sign up now!

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.
