About Us

Mission

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.

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.

We welcome you to learn more about our accomplishments, our staff and Board of Directors and our finances. Click on the links to the left.
