"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.
