Mt. Charleston Licence Plates Help Fund Wilderness Stewardship
Friends of Nevada Wilderness was just awarded a $25,000 grant
for a Wilderness Stewardship partnership with the Spring Mountains National Recreation
Area. We are very excited about getting out into the local community and engaging
more volunteers in being good stewards for this special place. A big thanks to the
Nevada Division of State Lands for administering the licence plate program and making
this happen. To learn about Mt. Charleston licence plates visit

Wild Nevada Photo Exhibit
Friends of Nevada Wilderness thanks all the wonderful donors
who came forward with generous gifts to help create this ambitious photo exhibit.
The money received is helping to defray the costs of printing, matting, framing and
transporting these large-format photos that so vividly show off Nevada's wild places.
The exhibit will hang in Reno-Tahoe International airport from June through August,
the airport's busiest season. Thousands of visitors from all over the country (and
the world) will have opportunity to catch a glimpse of Nevada's natural wonders.

Afterward, these 24 photographs, one photo for each year since the
founding of Friends of Nevada Wilderness, will be available for display in
public buildings, galleries and restaurants across Nevada. If you know of places
where these photos would hang well and be seen by many, please contact us.
Thanks again to all the folk who so generously helped make this happen.
