This spring, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundationawarded more than $1 million in funding for Desert Terminal Lakes. National Audubon Society (Audubon) received a portion of that funding to work in partnership with Manomet, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), and Lahontan Audubon Society (LAS) to identify management opportunities for shorebird habitat and to increase shorebird and habitat monitoring capacity at Nevada’s Lahontan Valley Wetlands Site, located approximately 70 miles east of Reno.
4 NAS Fallon, NV – The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed by Congress on 3 January, 2021, renewed the existing public land withdrawal in Northern Nevada the Navy uses to train tactical aviators and Navy SEALs. The military training area, which includes bombing ranges, ground maneuver areas, an electronic warfare range, and 13,000 square miles of airspace, have not been updated since 1995. The NDAA did not include provisions to modernize the Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) the Navy had requested. The Navy’s proposal, which would add just under 600,000 acres to the existing quarter of a million acres currently under military control, still needs to be addressed by Congress.
