Our main goal is to promote the birding and wildlife observation of Shoshone Wetlands and the surrounding areas . We are currently constructing Shoshone Wetlands Nature Trails through previously inaccessible desert riparian areas.
Our additional goals:
· To offer weekend workshops featuring well-known birders, nature photographers, astronomers, geologists, herpetologists, etc.
· To inspire local kid's interest in environmental careers through field trips, a desert ecology club, and educational events with Death Valley School District , Parhump, NV , and Las Vegas, NV School Districts.
· To offer free weekly bird walks to travelers and locals alike.
· To transform a former commercial catfish pond into a natural desert wetlands bird viewing pond including photography blinds by utilizing NANPA Foundation –Photo Blind Grant Program.
· To construct 4 other photography blinds in nearby wetlands areas utilizing NANPA Foundation –Photo Blind Grant Program.
· To form a competitive birding team that will participate in events throughout Southwestern USA.
· To offer 4x4 birding / nature field trips to remote areas otherwise inaccessible.
