Summary Report Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month 2019 Summary Report Nevada Wildfre Awareness Month 2019 Prepared by: Jamie Roice-Gomes and Alyssa Thom Living With Fire Program University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Summary Report | 3 NWAM A collaborative efort since 2005 Nevada Wildfre Awareness Month (NWAM) 2019 was held May 1–31, with events and activities taking place throughout the state. Tis 14th annual efort, originally held as a weeklong observance, was expanded in 2014 to the entire month of May. Utilizing grant funds from the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension’s Living With Fire Program coordinates this collaborative efort each year. Additional funding, support from corporate sponsors and in-kind contributions from program partners all helped to increase the efectiveness and impact of the many events and activities conducted. Tis year’s message was, “Wildfres Happen. Is your community prepared?” Members of the planning committee designed this message in an efort to educate Nevada residents that wildfre can threaten Nevadan communities and impact homes, property and human life. Te key to minimizing the wildfre impact in Nevada is proactive communities that take steps to prepare. Eforts included 227 events and activities with 29,032 participants at those events, while 889,854 others were reached indirectly via newspaper articles, public service announcements, social media and other methods of communication. Tis report summarizes the events and activities that occurred as part of NWAM and includes a list of the 203 collaborators, 38 individuals from 22 entities on the planning committee, in-kind contributions, and a list of all events and activities by county.

  • HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction
    HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.

  • Winters Ranch
    SNPLMA Round 10 / FLTFA Round 6 Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Nomination WINTERS RANCH NARRATIVE STATEMENT Executive Summary Winters Ranch protects some of Nevada’s oldest water rights flowing from Washoe Valley into the Truckee River, and completes the process to protect the land, habitat and water initiated by Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) in 1999. This final Winters Ranch nomination unites entire sections of contiguous BLM SNPLMA lands with the Nevada Department of Wildlife Scripps Wildlife Refuge and U.S. Forest Service SNPLMA lands. This nomination also represents one of the prime habitat areas in southern Washoe County for shorebirds, waterfowl, and other water dependent species. The natural flow of water has created large areas of wet meadow and pasture, as well as the sagebrush steppe, provide vital breeding habitat for birds. Nevada Land Conservancy conducted a field survey of the property to gain an understanding of the conveyance system of natural flow and man-made ditches used to distribute the water over the parcels to insure the beneficial use area described in the water right documents coincide with the parcels acquired. Additionally we evaluated the relationship of the conveyance of water from this proposed acquisition to the existing land acquired under previous SNPLMA acquisitions to the east. Our survey determined that if the Winters Ranch surface water rights are not acquired through Round 10, the Winters Ranch water rights previously acquired in Round 4 will not reach the land to which they are encumbered causing a loss of herbaceous wetland and facultative wetland species. Down gradient parcels to the east could still be irrigated, however, water available for ground-water recharge and flow to Washoe Lake would be reduced by 60%.
