Becoming an Independent Spring Steward

Becoming a independent spring monitoring volunteer with Friends of Nevada Wilderness is a great opportunity to explore the wild places and rich biodiversity Southern Nevada has to offer all while also collecting valuable data that can ultimately serve to protect and learn about these very special areas.

By watching this Webinar and filing the proper volunteer/Insurance forms with our federal partners you will be grated access to the Friends of Nevada Wilderness Spring Stewardship Portal. Here you will find even more detailed resources to guide your spring stewardship goals as well a information to aid in spring access and locations (GPS, Access and hike difficulty, vehicle needs, ect).  

At the annual FNW volunteer appreciation event we highlight independent surveyors for there ambitious spring stewarding.
