Since 1999, NWP has become a place for people to find common ground and rally around conservation issues and legislation that make sense for Nevada – and more important, for countless generations who will come after us.
To do this, we have always worked to mobilize people for public lands advocacy – mobilize them with facts about our proposals, honest communication about our opposition and with opportunities to take meaningful action. We inform and educate people through our website, blog, e-mail and publications. |

And we talk and listen. A lot. We have conversations with people at public meetings, libraries, club gatherings, special events, on hikes – and our favorite: at happy hours at the local brew pub. We talk about our passion for wilderness and believe, as Henry David Thoreau writes, “In wildness is the preservation of the world.” And more often than not, it’s a message that resonates with almost everyone we’ve met.
- We have more than 750 members throughout the state and nation, and three overseas. Our Facebook and Twitter friends grow daily.
- We partner with other non-profit groups in Nevada and several nationally.
- Every year, approximately 100 people write letters to the editor in support of NWP.
- Our Take Action pages are visited by thousands of people every year and result in positive changes.
- Volunteers host and attend house parties, the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival, and other spcial events to share info about conservation issues and build good camaraderie. We invite you to join us.
