donated or provided at a reduced cost by local Las Vegas
businesses having a great relationship with Pepsi (Jersey
Mike’s Subs and convenience stores, Rebel Oil and Shortline
Express), the nearly 50 people attending, most of whom were
Pepsi employees themselves, were some of the first folks to
help us celebrate the new Lincoln County Wilderness after the
bill passed on November 17. Party-goers enjoyed libations,
good conversation, a Nevada Wilderness slideshow and some
Vegas-style card playing! Nearly everyone attending became
a member of the Project and with the Pepsi corporate match
for each employee donation to the Project, we surpassed our
fundraising goal for the event!

FUNDRAISING UPDATE: Your Support Goes a Long Way!
Who would have thought that just 5 short years since the founding of the Nevada Wilderness Project, we have protected almost 2
million acres of wild lands in Nevada as permanent Wilderness. We have been fortunate that many factors have fallen into place and
contributed to these successes. However, no factor has been more important than the work and support that we have received from
our very own members and volunteers. YOU have made this happen! Generations to come will be able to enjoy the precious oppor-
tunity deserved by every human being to experience the beauty of unspoiled lands because of your efforts and generous support. We
have protected these spectacular, rugged-and imperiled lands as permanent Wilderness – in perpetuity. As the fastest growing state
in the nation, this is no small success.
Furthermore, we’ve only just begun! There are still many more acres of imperiled pristine wild lands in the
state that deserve protection and we are already beginning to prepare ourselves for another campaign. As
                   the successes of the past, our future campaigns will need your support in order to suc-
                   ceed. Please consider making a donation today and asking your friends and family to
                   become members as well.

Aspen can be found at the spring sites and elk, bighorn sheep, and mule

lucky. Elevations range from 7,000’ to 8,500’, with a pinyon- juniper eco-

Party-goers enjoyed libations, good conversation, a Nevada Wilderness slideshow and some Vegas-style card playing! Nearly everyone attending became a member of the Project and with the Pepsi corporate match for each employee donation to the Project, we surpassed our fundraising goal for the event!

  • 3. FUNDRAISING UPDATE: Your Support Goes a Long Way! Who would have thought that just 5 short years since the founding of the Nevada Wilderness Project, we have protected almost 2 million acres of wild lands in Nevada as permanent Wilderness. We have been fortunate that many factors have fallen into place and contributed to these successes. However, no factor has been more important than the work and support that we have received from our very own members and volunteers. YOU have made this happen! Generations to come will be able to enjoy the precious oppor- tunity deserved by every human being to experience the beauty of unspoiled lands because of your efforts and generous support. We have protected these spectacular, rugged-and imperiled lands as permanent Wilderness – in perpetuity. As the fastest growing state in the nation, this is no small success. Furthermore, we’ve only just begun! There are still many more acres of imperiled pristine wild lands in the state that deserve protection and we are already beginning to prepare ourselves for another campaign. As the successes of the past, our future campaigns will need your support in order to suc- ceed. Please consider making a donation today and asking your friends and family to become members as well. ************************************************************************************************** Join the Nevada Wilderness Project’s monthly giving group, The Wild Legacy Club, to provide critical support for the protection of Nevada’s wild heritage for the enjoy- ment of generations to come.

Wilderness Area Spotlight: Schellback Area Shellback Proposed Wilderness—White Pine County The Shellback area, just south of Highway 50 and adjacent to the Illipah Reservoir Recreation Area is in a beautiful part of Nevada west of Ely. The area is managed by the USFS. This Forest Service Roadless area could also be called Moorman Ridge, as it makes up the central spine of this 38,540 acre proposal area. Marked by several springs on the “wet” west side of the ridge, this area is home to some great hiking and hunting opportunities. There are three very short cherrystems that provide vehicle access on Photo © John Wallin the north and southeast. Aspen can be found at the spring sites and elk, bighorn sheep, and mule deer can be seen. Birding is great as well, with all the common Nevada species, along with some of the less common birds of the Great Basin in Nevada, including Ferruginous Hawk and Greater Sage Grouse if you are lucky. Elevations range from 7,000’ to 8,500’, with a pinyon- juniper eco- system on the west side, with a sagebrush ecosystem on the eastside. While the area is an identified roadless Photo © John Wallin area by the Forest Service, there is the potential for oil and gas development in the area. The Shellback Pro- posed Wilderness is in a unique area of White Pine County in the White Pine Range that receives relatively little recreational use.
