Public Lands
Nevada and eastern California have an abundance of open, public lands (in fact, about 81% in Nevada). These lands enable residents and visitors to recreate in many different ways and provide the states with important economic benefits. Yet, public lands are increasingly under threat by those who unwisely believe the states can better manage these lands than the federal government. The Toiyabe Chapter strongly supports continued federal control to keep these lands open and accessible and to protect our air, water, and wildlife.
