The Nature Conservancy has been working to protect Nevada's unique landscapes since 1967.


 

Places We Protect

From Red Rock Canyon to Pyramid Lake, TNC and its partners have been protecting Nevada's Last Great Places since 1967. Still among The Conservancy’s smallest chapters, Nevada was its first to safeguard one million acres.  

What's New

Recently, some of the Nevada Trustees visited Tanzania to learn about what the Conservancy is doing in Africa.  Look at Trustee Susan Antinori's photo album from the trip or learn more about our Africa Program.

Turning the Truckee

TNC and its partners have long been working to turn the tide back in the Truckee River's favor.  This year, building on our success at McCarran Ranch, The Nature Conservancy and its partners launched restoration projects on two additional sites on the lower Truckee River.  Learn more about our efforts at the 102 Ranch and the Lockwood Property. 

Get Involved: Volunteer

There are many ways to help the Conservancy fulfill its mission in Nevada: planting trees and shrubs, pulling weeds, helping with restoration, and much more.   So get involved, meet interesting people, and make a lasting positive impact on nature.  Sign up today.
