Dear Senators Reid and Heller,

Thank you so much for jointly re-introducing the Lyon County Economic Development and Conservation Act of 2012 which will protect the beautiful Wovoka area in Lyon County as Wilderness. As you know, Wovoka has invaluable prehistoric cultural and natural resources that are worthy of protection so future generations can continue enjoying them. I know you have both worked hard on this bill already, and hope you will do everything you can to see this bill passed for Nevadans and for future generations.

Shaaron Netherton, fearless leader/Executive Director of Friends of Nevada Wilderness, spoke about the Wovoka Wilderness bill in Lyon County with the Nevada Appeal and Associated Press.

 

               “I think it's a good faith effort on the part of everyone. Everybody

               gave a little bit and that's how we get things done in Nevada. It

               was a good bipartisan effort.”

The bill will be re-introduced for the new Congress, along with the Pine Forest Recreation Enhancement Act, later this quarter. You can read the full article here: http://www.nevadaappeal.com/article/20121230/NEWS/121229825/1070&ParentProfile=1058
