| Welcome to the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition, where commitment, imagination and implementation have resulted in a community based partnership to maintain and restore healthy ecosystems for present and future generations. |
| We have been in business for over seven years. |
| We have initiated restoration on over 4,600 acres and collected monitoring and baseline data on over 4.3 million acres within the Great Basin. |
| Our Mission The mission of the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition is to restore the dynamic and diverse landscapes of the Great Basin for present and future generations through collaborative efforts. |
| Our Vision for the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition We envision a future where communities of plants and animals thrive in their Great Basin environment. These healed, diverse landscapes will be a result of restoration achieved and maintained with naturally occurring disturbances such as fire, in combination with other management prescriptions, including traditional uses. The Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition will be a recognized contributor and leader in this effort for future generations of Americans, both local and national. Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition is a 501C non profit organization. |
Science Committee
The science committee is made up of a diverse group of scientists and individuals with a strong interest in science. This group includes individuals from public land management agencies, University of Nevada Reno, Utah State University, other non profits affiliated with the Coalition including The Nature Conservancy and Coalition Board members who have a strong interest in research. The science committee outlines baseline data requirements, is in the process of identifying what data has already been collected, and in what areas additional data should be collected to properly monitor projects affiliated with Coalition's mission. There are consequences of doing nothing in natural resource management. What are they? Previous projects involving the Science Committee. Reviewed the Ely BLM's draft EIS and Resource Management Plan Reviewed and approved vegetation cover data collection methods used by ENLC staff ecologists and The Nature Conservancy ecologist working in the area. The Efroymson Conference - This report was provided to the BLM by the Coalition's partner, The Nature Conservancy of Nevada, to highlight management needs for the Bureau of Land Management Ely District. |
Some may have appreciation for what the wide open spaces of Eastern Nevada provide while others simply enjoy the beauty of the landscape. Maybe you share these reasons or have entirely different ones to explain why you care. For whatever reason there is no doubt that we are all concerned about the landscapes condition and many of us would like to do something to help. The Eastern Nevada Landscape is here to do just that by bringing concerned individuals together to work on rehabilitating and preserving Nevada's Great Basin. So "Why Now?" The reason is simple and complex at the same time. If you look at it simply, then you must realize that the landscapes of yesterday are not the landscapes of today. In Eastern Nevada many native plant species are literally losing ground, while non-native plants and invasive plants are gaining ground. When something as simple as plant life changes it affects every living specie. Many Nevada landscapes are at a critical juncture. We cannot continue as we did in the past, nor can we simply section these areas off and hope they reestablish. The above answers seem simple, but we all know it is also complex. Dr. Barry L. Perryman, Dr. William I. Morrill, and Robert Wilson, in concurrence with the University of Nevada Reno, studied the problem and collaborated to write a white paper titled, "The Consequences of Doing Nothing". This white paper provides answers to the question "WHY NOW?" in detail. This paper explains how we came to this critical moment, and what must be done to resolve the situation. If we do not act now, the landscapes we remember fondly may not be available for future So now that we have answered "WHY NOW?", we need to next ask, "WHAT CAN I DO?" For this answer, join the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition and do all you can! |
