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 wild lands.
Description
With our awesome volunteers and members, an experienced
Board of Directors and a talented staff Friends of Nevada Wilderness keeps
Nevada wild in the following ways:
Public Outreach
Working together with all Nevadans, we find the common
ground needed to protect our wildland heritage. We share the values and vision
of wilderness with the general public, civic organizations and clubs, land
managers and elected officials. Please contact us and we would be delighted to
talk with you or your organization as well.
Wilderness Stewardship - Healing the Land
Because wilderness areas cannot protect themselves, Friends
of Nevada Wilderness works with volunteers on the ground to help monitor and
restore these special wild places. Our restoration and monitoring trips combine
exploration, camaraderie and rewarding work in Nevada’s beautiful backcountry.
To further protect our wild places, we review agency land use plans, travel
management plans and other proposals that could affect wilderness.
