It occurs from the Front Range of Colorado through Utah, northern New Mexico and Arizona to the White Mountains of California along the Nevada border in the west. Bristlecone pine commonly occurs in small open groves on arid slopes, but it also grows in association with limber and ponderosa pines, white fir, Douglas - fir, and Engelmann spruce, generally above the 8000 -foot level. This tree has little economic value as a timber species, but does provide a protective and beautifying cover to the landscape. A newly -acquired interst in bristlecone pine stems from the discovery that these trees reach tremendous ages. -

Charleston 7 INSIDE Stewardship & Public Lands Defense 8-9 Washoe Cont’d & Who’s New at FNW 10-11 SPRING/SUMMER 2018 NEVADAWILDERNESS.ORG KEEPING WASHOE WILD ashoe County is blessed with an abundance of public lands that provide sweeping vistas, expansive sagebrush seas, andW healthy populations of pronghorn, bighorn sheep, numerous reptiles, song birds and a stronghold for the Greater Sage-Grouse. In this wild region stretching north of Pyramid Lake to the Oregon border, the roads are dirt, there is little cell phone coverage, and nature rules. Unfortunately, the Washoe County Commissioners seem more interested in development than conservation and they are proposing to eliminate protections that have been in place since 1980 for many of these wild places. Their proposal to strip protections for 62% of our county’s Wilderness Study Areas is appalling. Fortunately during the public hearings held April 24th and 26th, your voices were heard loud and clear standing up for Wilderness and open space. The need for Wilderness - protected lands where the forces of nature are allowed the opportunity to operate, uninhibited from human interference – becomes more and more pressing as the population of the Truckee Meadows swells. Our quality of life, including a broad range of outdoor recreation opportunities and beautiful backcountry are what makes living in Washoe County special. Friends of Nevada Wilderness has been invested in working alongside local legislators and various stakeholders to help find a balance Continued on Page 10 A storm rolls in over Massacre Rim Wilderness Study Area. -

Draft Looking for Trees in All the Wrong Places
Draft Looking for Trees in All the Wrong Places - My Efforts to Document Trees in Remote Sites Some may consider this hobby of mine to be a bit peculiar, especially in the “wastelands” of Nevada mountain ranges. But I like looking for particular trees in areas where they may or may not be suspected to occur. The mountains of Nevada are often thought as dry and scrubby, as you may ascertain driving through on the highways (although they can contain many spectacular places). You may just step on the gas pedal as you travel on highway 50, the “loneliest road in America” and try to get to your destination, and ignore the mountains in the distance. But there is a scientific purpose to this hobby, along with the fulfilment of visiting these highlands. David Charlet, is a biogeographer and author of the book Conifers of Nevada. Now, it might not be on Oprah’s Book of the Week, but there is a significance to his effort. Besides being an exhaustive geographic record of all the conifers in Nevada, it has relevance in documenting the possible impact of climate change. Conifers are those trees that have cones, as the name would suggest, and include the pines, firs, junipers, spruce, redwoods, and a handful of other mostly evergreen trees. The diagram below illustrates one of the situations David was trying to document. As temperatures rise the capability for a particular tree species to survive decreases, and the population may be eliminated from that elevation range. In this hypothetical situation, case “A” shows that the population exists successfully on both mountain ranges, one taller than the other. -

This land ACEC – Area of Critical includes wilderness, WSAs, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern Environmental Concern (ACECs), and other special management areas (e.g., National Wildlife Refuges ACM – Applicant Committed [NWRs] and ranges). Protection Measures GIS – Geographic Information Wilderness areas are established by Congress in accordance with the System Wilderness Act of 1964. Wilderness Areas are managed to preserve wilderness ISA – Instant Study Area characteristics. WSAs contain wilderness characteristics and are managed to LWC – Lands with Wilderness preserve those values until Congress either designates them as a wilderness area Characteristics or releases them for other uses. Instant Study Areas (ISAs) are a type of WSA NDOW – Nevada Department of Wildlife that contains primitive and natural qualities but are generally not recommended RFFA – Reasonably for wilderness. When the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) Foreseeable Future Actions was passed in 1976, BLM was required to provide recommendations on RMP – Resource Management wilderness areas formally identified as “natural” or “primitive” prior to Nov. 1, Plan 1975 under Section 603 and those areas remain as ISAs. ACECs are BLM- ROW – Right-of-way designated areas where special management attention is required to protect and USFS – U.S. Forest Service prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural, or scenic values, fish USFWS – U.S. Fish and and wildlife resources, and other natural systems or processes. -
