| What People Are Saying About Us "In appreciation of your partnership in implementing the Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Projec.t Through the leadership of the Board, dedication of your staff & support of your members, the coalition is in the forefront of restoring the ecological health of the Great Basin." Ely Field Office, Bureau of Land Management presentation to ENLC on June 16, 2006 "In recognition of outstanding contributions and leadership in public service during our first century of service." US Forest Service presentation to ENLC, dated March 8, 2005 "In recognition of the Coalition's hard work and success, the Committee voted, at its final meeting and work session, to send you this letter expressing support for the Coalition and complimenting its efforts in addressing public land issues and providing land management analysis, environmental protection services, resource development assistance, and public education. Furthermore, the Coalition should be commended for bringing government and private sources together to arrive at solutions on difficult federal land issues." Senator Dean Rhoads, Chairman, Nevada's Legislative Committee on Public Lands, stated in a letter to ENLC, dated January 27, 2005. "The work of the coalition has been very successful. It has attracted supporters from federal and state agencies, universities, business communities, agriculture, and from a broad base of ordinary citizens. The coalition should be applauded to demonstrate how government and private sources can work together and arrive at solutions for difficult federal land issues. I urge you to support this resolution." Senator Dean Rhoads, Nevada Legislator, stated while passing a resolution in support of ENLC 2003. "I think this is exactly the type of model that I'd like to see the BLM adopt. I truly believe that conservation efforts in this country are going to work only when you have such citizen-based stewardship." Kathleen Clarke, Director for the BLM, after meeting the ENLC Board on a visit to eastern Nevada in March 2002. "It is a great pleasure for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to be a part of a innovative and creative approach to restoring 12 million acres of wildlife habitat in Eastern Nevada. The Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition, Bureau of Land Management, and Land Grant Colleges in Nevada and Utah are pioneering a true community approach to collaborative problem solving through adaptive management. The idea of working on a landscape scale with a focus of the health of the land is a exciting and proactive way to insure the future of all interests." Dave Torell, Director of Community Planning, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation “I’m delighted to see that we are now starting to approach public land management from a holistic, ecosystem viewpoint.” John Hiatt, Conservation Chair, Red Rock Audubon Society “There has long been a need for a closer relationship between BLM management and the science the University systems can provide. This relationship is a critical element for the restoration of the biodiversity of eastern Nevada landscapes. The Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition provides a ready conduit for the mutual exchange of information and ideas and this leadership role, while encouraging cooperation, will facilitate a return to resilient, healthy ecosystems in eastern Nevada.” Dr. David Thawley, Dean, University of Nevada Reno, College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources "This is the most important action by the Bureau of Land Management in my lifetime. I look forward to some on-the-ground results, especially in terms of dealing with the loss of perennial grasses." Gracian Uhalde, White Pine County rancher. “The Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition is a creative private/public effort to reduce (and eliminate) the threat of catastrophic fires and invasion of exotic weeds. The goal is to restore the health of Eastern Nevada’s ecosystems through involvement of the region’s stakeholder groups with the Bureau of Land Management. It is an effort that has long been needed and it is critical that we succeed. The result will be a benefit to both wildlife and humans.” Larry Johnson, Nevada Bighorns Unlimited. |

| 2006 Workshop Wrap-UP - The 2006 workshop, field tour and volunteer day are now in the history books. ENLC's seventh annual workshop and tour were well attended with over 80 participants. The participants enjoyed all of the speakers and the diversity of topics. The topics ranged from restoration of sage grouse habitat, to restoration of the 700,000 plus acres that burned in Lincoln and Clark Counties last summer, to the impacts of historic climate changes on the vegetation communities. Lastly we had a very interesting presentation on ethnobotany - basically the what and how Native Americans have and still use the plant communities within the Great Basin. The field tour started in Smith Vally, with an outline of the proposed projects to be completed later this summer and fall. From there the tour crossed over into the Gleason Creek watershed to examine the changes that have occurred during the past two years and to look at some of the work ENLC has completed this year. Saturday's volunteer day was a hit with twenty intrepid individuals, including one of the workshop speakers donating half of their day to ENLC. One crew worked on removing an old barbed wire fence to protect wildlife and livestock from injury. The second crew worked to cover the areas that were disturbed by the work vehicles during the fall and spring tree thinning efforts. |
