"The Nevada Wilderness Project is committed to saving spectacular, rugged-and imperiled-public lands in Nevada as permanent Wilderness, the strongest protection possible."

Founded in 1999, NWP works to protect Nevada's wild lands as legal Wilderness, the highest level of protection for public land. We do this through grassroots education and activism, and through an ongoing citizens' inventory of potential wilderness.

"Friends of Nevada Wilderness is a non-profit conservation organization in Nevada. We are dedicated to preserving all qualified Nevada public lands as Wilderness, protecting all present and potential Wilderness from ongoing threats, informing the public on the values of and need for Wilderness, and improving the management and restoration of these public wild lands."

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers nearly 48 million acres of public land in Nevada. BLM public lands make up about 67 percent of Nevada's land base.

The mission of the Great Basin Naturalists is to foster the next generation of conservationists. We believe that the conviction to protect and conserve the environment springs from love. To love the natural world one must know it, its nooks and crannies, its faces from sunrise to sunrise, its seasons and patterns and creatures.

Our programs empower youth to take part in hands-on conservation and restoration projects. We focus on experiential learning and community service so that participants learn by doing. By supporting today's youth naturalists we're investing in tomorrow's conservation leaders.
