About This Business

Our Washoe is a community-driven initiative focused on protecting and preserving the natural beauty and open spaces of Washoe County, Nevada. The organization aims to promote a comprehensive federal public lands legislation that balances the needs of population growth and development with the importance of sustaining the region's quality of life, protecting its open spaces, and promoting economic opportunities. By collaborating with local politicians, conservationists, and ranchers, Our Washoe seeks to resolve long-standing public interest issues in the greater Reno-Sparks area. The initiative recognizes the significance of Nevada's wild places, including the petroglyphs at Gold Butte and other areas, and strives to ensure these sites are protected for future generations. Our Washoe encourages community engagement and support, providing opportunities for individuals to learn about the importance of preserving these special places and to get involved in the effort to protect them. With its emphasis on collaboration, conservation, and community involvement, Our Washoe is working towards a future where the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Washoe County are preserved and enhanced for the benefit of all. The organization's efforts are driven by a deep appreciation for the region's unique landscapes, including the Granite Range, Buffalo Hills, and Little High Rock Canyon, and a commitment to ensuring that these areas remain accessible and protected for years to come. By signing the petition to protect Washoe's wild places, individuals can join the effort to safeguard the region's natural heritage and promote a sustainable future for Northern Nevada.
