Working to Keep Nevada Forever Wild

Friends of Nevada Wilderness has been successful in protecting over 3 million acres of Nevada wilderness. Getting wilderness designated is the first step toward long-term protection of these special areas but it's not enough. Our wild lands need help to heal from past uses and abuses.

Volunteers help restore Lovell Canyon area

On January 30, 2010, ten intrepid wilderness stewardship volunteers ventured out to restore two entry points of a decommissioned road in the Lovell Canyon area. The project was undertaken on Forest Service managed land on the west side of the Spring Mountains. Led by Friends' Southern Nevada Wilderness Director, Kurt Kuznicki, these hardy souls reclaimed part of a no-longer-needed road.

Here is some of the story in pictures:
