Why the Conservancy Selected This Site
This property, tucked away at the base of the 2,000-foot cliffs of Jarbidge Canyon, is home to the endangered bull trout, a species that is found nowhere else in Nevada.
What the Conservancy Has Done
This acquisition was made possible in 1998 by a donation of appreciated securities that provided the necessary funding to acquire the land -- one of the largest private gifts in the history of the Nevada chapter. Using it, the Conservancy acquired a private inholding along the beautiful Jarbidge River in northern Nevada.
