Volunteer Appreciation Party!! Friends is having a party to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of our hundreds of volunteers. Through their toil and sweat, these dedicated wilderness heroes have helped heal many damaged wild areas all across Nevada. Everyone is invited! Please come over and say thanks to these hearty souls who
have given so much love and effort to help restore the wild public lands.
Finding the Crystal Ballroom: The best parking is
on the golf driving range side of the Grand Sierra — accessible from either
Mill Street or East Second Street / Glendale Avenue.
Friends wants to thank all who have donated items for the silent auction and raffle. And in particular, we thank the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino, Fresh Mex and the Law Offices of Demetras & O'Neill whose assistance make this event so much nicer than otherwise possible.
To support our volunteers and their on-the-ground efforts,
can you donate $20 now?  Wet and wild – forever! Granite Range inholdings acquired The BLM recently acquired 17,493 acres of wild scattered private parcels in northern Washoe County, thanks to funding made available by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act and cooperative diligence by the Nevada Land Conservancy, BLM and support from Friends of Nevada Wilderness. These important wildlands lie in the Granite Range, immediately west of the Black Rock playa, and throughout the Buffalo Hills, Twin Peaks, Wall Canyon and Poodle Mountain wilderness study areas. Almost every parcel contains a spring, stream, wet meadow that nurture diverse wildlife populations of mule deer, bighorn, pronghorn, sage grouse and rare fish. Friends of Nevada Wilderness has been an enthusiastic supporter of this project since its initial proposal in 2003. We would like to thank the Nevada Land Conservancy, the BLM, the Jaksick family and everyone else who worked to make this acquisition a success. This Bob's for you Winning the prestigious national Forest Service Bob Marshall
Group Champion of Wilderness Stewardship Award was only possible because of you, our
wonderful volunteers and supporters — and your extraordinary accomplishments
on behalf of Nevada's wild places. This "Bob's" for you.
