And Thank You! Gold Butte legislation introduced
On Friday, September 26, 2008, Congresswoman Berkley
introduced the Gold Butte National Conservation Area Act. This act would create
the Gold Butte National Conservation Area and designate 13 wilderness areas on
lands managed by the BLM and by the Park Service in the Lake Mead NRA. Public Lands Day Events cap off a great season of Stewardship
Last weekend in the Mt. Rose Wilderness, Friends and volunteers teamed up with the US Forest Service and the Hills Angels 4x4 club to build a rock barrier to protect a population of the endangered Galena Creek rock cress (native only to the Carson Range) from vehicle traffic along Garson Road. Volunteers also repaired a motorized trespass in another area within the wilderness. On the weekend of September 20, more than 80 volunteers joined forces in the Pahute Peak Wilderness in the Black Rock Desert. Our biggest volunteer event of the year helped rid the wilderness of mining garbage left over from the 1970s. It also included great hikes, a Dutch oven potluck dinner, and the electric beauty of a lightning storm on Friday night. These two events capped off a great season for Friends Wilderness Stewardship program. So far this year, more than 300 volunteers participated in 30 projects across the Silver State, working for more than 6,533 hours worth $127,458 in service to Nevadas wild public lands. Thanks to everyone who supported this program this year! Nevada is now a better place because of you.

Start Date: 10/17/2008 The aspens should be blazing in all their glory, and this could be your last opportunity to do some hiking before the snows fall. Call Wes Hoskins, Forest Project Coordinator for trip details (775) 762-6730 or (775) 324-7667.
