WHAT WE PROTECT

Nevada is a very special place. We work to keep it that way.

Preserving and protecting Nevada’s special places is a team effort. Nevada Land Trust is a member of that team, along with generous landowners, state agencies, heritage organizations, wildlife conservation groups and private businesses. If you value Nevada’s open spaces and special places, you too are a member of the team. Because protecting and preserving what we love takes all of us.
