Inquires should be addressed to: 312 Montezuma Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501 The Shrinking Sagebrush Sea Executive Summary In the sagebrush lands of the West… the natural landscape is eloquent of the interplay of forces that have created it. It is spread before us like the pages of an open book in which we can read why the land is what it is and why we should preserve its integrity. But the pages lie unread. Rachel Carson ● Silent Spring (1962) Despite its size, the Sagebrush Sea (scientifically known as “sagebrush steppe”) is one of the most endangered landscapes in North America. The Sagebrush Sea has been reduced in area by as much as 50 percent since European settlement. Livestock grazing, natural gas and oil development, agricultural conversion, roads, fences, powerlines and pipelines, off-road vehicle use, urban sprawl, mining, unnatural fire, and invasive weeds are fragmenting or degrading much of what remains. Greater sage-grouse are a sagebrush obligate species whose range has been significantly reduced with the loss of sagebrush steppe.

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.
