WHIN in partnership with U S Fish and Wildlife Service Planted over 100 plants and trees at the Desert National Wildlife Refuge ( Corn Creek ). This project was the final step in restoring a wetlands area that used to be there in the early days of the refuge.
5 WHIN members along with 1 NDOW Biologist and 1 U.S. National Park Serviceman and 2 Nevada Bass Anglers volunteered on completing phase 2 of building and placing fish habitat structures in coves just south of Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mojave. This was a lot of fun. If you can ever make it, you won’t regret it.
WHIN donated $1,500.00 to NOW, (Nevada Outdoorsmen in Wheelchairs) a non profit organization providing hunting and outdoor experiences to individuals with disabilities who are confined to a wheelchair. The funds will be used to assist two wheelchair bound individuals to hunt antelope on a private ranch for the 2011 season. For more information about NOW, visit their website. www.nvoutdoorsmen.com
WHIN and 13 members walked the McFarland Spring drinker line in Cold Creek. They removed many fallen trees that were restricting the water flow to the drinkers. 1 float repair and 1 tank repair were also completed to the overall system. After all the work was completed everyone enjoyed hot dogs and burgers. Thanks go out to the Werner family and everyone that helped with the repairs. WHIN would like to extend an extra “THANK YOU” to Ron Reed for his continued support with this annual project. Ron has spent time over the past several years checking and making minor repairs to the drinker system on his own and providing updates to the WHIN team.
WHIN along with 2 NDOW and 1 AGF biologists and 15 volunteers from Creech AFB completed phase 1 of building and placing fish habitat structures in coves just south of Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mojave.
