Wilderness Needs You!
How you can help...

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.

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 http://www.lands.nv.gov/program/mtcharleston.htm.

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.
