 GORP - Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge
The refuge, an island in the middle of Pyramid Lake, is 35 miles from Reno and was designated a preserve by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 for colonial nesting birds before being named a national wildlife refuge in 1940.
A visitor to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge a few years ago remarked that the refuge name ought to be the "No-Water National Wildlife Refuge." The visitor came during a 6-year drought when refuge wetlands were bone dry, but the lack of water was caused not only by the lack of rain.
Buoyed by that revelation, the coalition, of which the association was a key member, worked in cooperation with refuge staff at the local, state, and national levels to include water for Stillwater in the negotiations that were already under way among competing interests in the valley to settle water-allocation conflicts.
