FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







RESOLUTION #16: DESIGNATION OF BLACK ROCK - HIGH ROCK NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA IN NORTHWEST NEVADA (Friends of Nevada Wilderness, Marge Sill)


The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs supports the designation of a Black Rock - High Rock National Conservation Area in northwest Nevada.
The Black Rock - High Rock region contains well-preserved remnants of the Applegate-Lassen historic trail, prehistoric remains, bighorn sheep and other wildlife, hot springs with endangered desert dace, and a variety of outstanding scenic and biological and environmental resource values.  Senator Richard Bryan of Nevada, who is retiring at the end of this year, has introduced legislation for a Black Rock - High Rock National Conservation Area, including wilderness designation for eleven Wilderness Study Areas in the region.  This legislation has been co-sponsored by Nevada Senator Harry Reid, and should be enacted in this session of Congress.
Please contact: Members of your Congressional Delegations and ask them to support rapid passage of this legislation.
