Protecting the Silver State

Preserving Nevada's last great places from high mountain lakes to desert playas.

The Nature Conservancy has been working to protect Nevada's unique landscapes since 1967.  We've influenced the protection of over one million acres across the state.  See the places we protect.

Explore the Silver State

In Nevada, the Conservancy works in two key ways: first, in this the most arid state in the nation, we focus on safeguarding and restoring our freshwater systems.  Second, in a state where more than 80% of the land is in public ownership, we must find ways to influence and participate in the way(s) our public lands are managed.

Looking Back: The Conservancy's History in Nevada

The Nature Conservancy has a long history in Nevada, and has worked to protect some of Nevada's most loved areas: 

Red Rock Canyon

Learn about The Nature Conservancy's role in protecting one of Nevada's most beautiful and heavily visited scenic areas. 

Ruby Valley/Franklin Lake

A conservation easement to benefit ranching in Ruby Valley also helped create a popular waterfowl hunting and fishing area. 

Soldier Meadows
This area is one of Nevada's most productive antelope ranges, and it provides habitat to three imperiled species.
