Hi Friend,

There’s one week left to add your name in support of protecting iconic waters, like Lake Tahoe and the Ruby Marshes, before the State of Nevada makes a final decision on a policy that would protect some of the state’s highest value waters. 

The voices of Nevadans like you matter a LOT in this process, but we’re still 50 signatures short of where we’re hoping to be before next week’s deadline. We need a strong showing if we’re going to succeed!

Friend, will you add your name to our petition calling on the State of Nevada to expand protections for our most important rivers, lakes, and wetlands?

Here’s the situation: here in Nevada, a new policy is being created to protect some of our highest value waters through a designation called “Extraordinary Waters,” which the State can grant to specific river stretches or other bodies of water through its authority under the Clean Water Act. But the policy currently proposed by the State for granting these protections is unclear, inconsistent, and makes it difficult for the public to even nominate water bodies for protection.

That’s what we’re working to change — but we can’t do it without your help! It’s no exaggeration to say that Nevada’s environmental, economic, and ecological future depends on the success of this effort.

Can I count on you to sign this petition by September 7th?

We're in this fight together,
