Volunteering With Friends of Nevada Wilderness

As we gear up for a productive 2011 season, we're excited to see returning volunteers and greenhorns join us! If you're interested in volunteering but not quite sure what you'll be doing, watch our video, "Why Volunteer?", below to get a taste of the Friends of Nevada Wilderness stewardship experience.

Lovell Canyon Restoration - Day One

7 buckets of glass and 32 bags of trash were collected last Saturday by FNW volunteers at Lovell Canyon - a great start to 2011!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first project of the year...

You made a big difference to a beautiful slice of Nevada wild!
