Volunteers Bob Milne and Jim Jeffress are removing metal fence posts after other volunteers stripped off the barbwire from unneeded fences. Removing this fence will make it easier for pronghorn to migrate freely within the Sheldon Refuge.
Although cold temperatures and inclement weather have all but put an end to the field season in northern Nevada we are putting together more stewardship opportunities in southern Nevada. and we will be back in the field in January, so sign up today.
*More trips to be added throughout field season—check Friends of Nevada
Wilderness website for updates: www.nevadawilderness.org
NOTE: Transportation to and from projects can be arranged through Friends of
Nevada Wilderness depending on attendance; contact us for details on a particular trip.
All volunteers are welcome! Less physically-intense opportunities are available on
every trip. We always have a need for photography, journalism/reporting, or just
enjoying the beauty of wilderness.
