sloan canyon nevada Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, located at the southern end of the Las Vegas valley. I realize how beneficial this National Conservation Area will be to the quality of life of those living in southern Nevada and in all of these United States. The ceremony began with a bit of improvisation, due to technical difficulties - the sound system that was supposed to play the National Anthem failed, which led to an unknown audience member chiming in and leading the crowd in an accapello singing of the National Anthem. www.nevadawilderness.org /news/sloandedicate.htm

Outside Las Vegas Partnership Conservation Initiatives are "federal agency activities which promote conservation on federal lands including planning, implementation, monitoring, and delivery of programs, such as, but not limited to, litter and desert dumping clean-up and prevention, natural and cultural resource protection, recreation, habitat restoration, environmental education, volunteerism and site stewardship". Conservation Initiatives Financing : In November 2002, Congress passed legislation that allows 10% of available funds in the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act Special Account to be used for the implementation of Conservation Initiatives on federal lands in Southern Nevada. Focus areas for the OLVF include environmental education and public awareness, recreation, litter and desert dumping, volunteerism, habitat restoration, and research. www.nps.gov /partnerships/outside_las_vegas_partnership.htm

What's At Stake: DON'T LET SLOAN CANYON BECOME A HELICOPTER FLIGHT ZONE Sloan Canyon is the newest addition to the National Landscape Conservation System--26 million acres of Bureau of Land Management lands protected for their spectacular environment and historical and cultural sites. Sloan Canyon NCA was designated just two years ago by Congress to protect unique petroglyph sites, rugged canyons, and one of the few remaining wild places left near a rapidly growing metropolitan area. Since all of the flights to the Grand Canyon travel east, a heliport on the east side of the valley makes more sense than the southern proposal that would disrupt the wilds of Sloan Canyon. ga1.org /campaign/sloan_tws/explanation

reviewjournal.com -- News: SLOAN CANYON NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA: Artifact... Within Sloan Canyon, Rolf would like to see a system modeled after Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado, where visitors must sign up for guided tours to gain access to the elaborate cliff dwellings. Sloan Canyon is littered with such naturally occurring rock basins, which catch rainwater and attract bighorn sheep. The milling sites are interesting, she said, because they seem to point to the use of the Sloan Canyon for another purpose: the harvesting of native grasses and seeds. www.reviewjournal.com /lvrj_home/2004/Feb-11-Wed-2004/news/23192086.html

sloan canyon nevada Sloan Canyon became the Bureau of Land Management's 14th national conservation area on Nov. 6 when President George W. Bush signed the Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002. At the edge of the one of Henderson's fastest-growing areas this morning, a posh ceremony officially placed Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area on the map. The estimated 300 panels of protected petroglyphs are inside a small wilderness area set aside within the 48,000 acres of the new national conservation area. www.nevadawilderness.org /news/sloancyn.htm

Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - Sloan Canyon walls tell stories through time - VIEW NEWS: A Neighborhood Newspaper The 48,438-acre conservation area encompasses the North McCullough Wilderness Area, which lies in the southeastern part of the Las Vegas Valley, and is one of 15 national conservation areas. On one side of the canyon, a ground-level rock depicts a sheep and another symbol, while on the opposite side of the canyon another ground-level rock depicts a birdlike animal and a similar symbol. Petroglyphs and red-inked pictographs lace the canyon walls and are particularly dense in mid-canyon. www.viewnews.com /2003/VIEW-Sep-10-Wed-2003/SEast/22075193.html

Las Vegas Mercury: Strange bedfellows Sloan Canyon is one of several areas in Southern Nevada that were protected from development because of their natural and cultural attributes. The 48,438-acre conservation area at the south end of the Las Vegas Valley was created by a law Reid helped pass called the Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act. Frederick's involvement in the early stages of the Sloan Canyon project surely must have come as a surprise to some, since his newspaper is staunchly conservative and has questioned and criticized Reid on many issues. www.lasvegasmercury.com /2003/MERC-Mar-20-Thu-2003/20886839.html

Las Vegas SUN: Groups call for better protection of BLM lands BLM officials are now drawing up a management plan for Sloan Canyon, which was formally designated a conservation area last year. The one area that has been able to use funds for ongoing work has been Sloan Canyon outside of Henderson. The National Trust for Historic Places, a nonprofit group that works to preserve places and buildings of historic interest, included the National Landscape Conservation System in its annual list of 11 "most endangered historic places." The goal of the listing is to focus attention and potentially financial resources on the threatened places. www.lasvegassun.com /sunbin/stories/lv-other/2005/jun/03/518852961.html

National Landscape Conservation System - National Conservation Areas National Conservation Areas (NCAs) are designated by Congress to conserve, protect, enhance, and manage public land areas for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Sloan Canyon is managed to conserve, protect, and enhance cultural, archaeological, natural, wilderness, scientific, geological, historical, biological, wildlife, educational, and scenic resources of this area. This area is remarkable for its diverse landscape ranging from salt bush desert to the spectacular canyons of the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness. www.blm.gov /nlcs/conservation

reviewjournal.com -- News: Sloan Canyon petroglyphs protected The ceremony, atop a hill with the canyon's jagged peaks serving as the backdrop, marked the start of a three-year process to develop a plan for managing the conservation area, which surrounds a wilderness rich in the heritage of tribes from Southern Nevada and along the lower Colorado River. One of the Sloan Canyon panels depicts a cowboy and is believed to be American Indian impressions of contact with white settlers and early travelers on the outskirts of the Las Vegas Valley. During his speech, Ensign dubbed Sloan Canyon "the crown jewel of this legislation" and predicted the sale of the adjacent 500-acre parcel could generate $50 million to $75 million. www.reviewjournal.com /lvrj_home/2003/Feb-18-Tue-2003/news/20711220.html

Las Vegas SUN: People's litter turns thing of beauty into ugly mess Media attention might be fine for older, more established conservation areas such as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, but Charles Carroll is still working to put together the management plan and law enforcement presence to protect the 48,000 acres set aside for permanent protection around Sloan Canyon in 2003. He walks through the desert near the mouth of Sloan Canyon and points out what he hopes will one day be a visitors center that could include an interpretive area, a place for American Indians to practice ceremonies, a research component and other assets for visiting scientists of all kinds. Despite all the present and potential threats, the BLM officials and local conservation area supporters say they believe that with cooperation, some education and law enforcement, the future of the conservation area and the wilderness is bright. www.lasvegassun.com /sunbin/stories/lv-other/2005/apr/14/518602834.html

Las Vegas SUN: Residents offer ways to use and protect Sloan Canyon area The Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area was created to provide open space next to a growing urban area, he said. The area just south of the Las Vegas Valley east of Interstate 15 will be managed as a national conservation area soon. The Red Rock Canyon area is known worldwide by geologists, hikers and rock climbers. www.lasvegassun.com /sunbin/stories/lv-other/2005/may/12/518747093.html

Public Lands Initiative Established in 2002, Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area is the newest conservation area managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The Desert National Wildlife Range, located north of the Las Vegas metropolitan area,is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and was established in 1936 to perpetuate the desert bighorn sheep.The range’s 1.57 million acrescomprises the largest refuge system outside of Alaska and conserves the largest intact desert bighorn sheep habitat in the world. The recreation area was created in 1993 and encompasses approximately 316,000 acres of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Clark and Nye counties. www.unlv.edu /institutes/publiclands/publiclands.htm

Senate panel allocates $25 million for Nevada projects (printable version) A Senate panel has approved about $25 million for Nevada projects, including $1 million to help the Bureau of Land Management prepare for land auctions near the new Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. At Sloan Canyon, BLM plans in November to auction 500 acres between next to the conservation area and a housing development in east Henderson. The Sloan Canyon money could pay contractors to do required environmental studies before the BLM can release the land for auction, BLM spokesman Philip Guerrero said. www.rgj.com /news/printstory.php?id=46699

ESPN Outdoors -- Rescues costing Parks Dept big-time cash In deserts, such as Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, life or death can depend on a bottle of water. Mary Margaret Sloan, president of the American Hiking Society, said her group provides safety information to members and urges them to check with each park about weather or trail conditions. Last month in California's Lassen Volcanic National Park, he was lost overnight and, the next day, a search team found him with injuries he suffered when he left the trail and fell down steep slides. www.espn.go.com /outdoors/conservation/news/2004/0901/1872811.html

Las Vegas Weekly The land on the near side and up to the boundary of the national conservation area will be auctioned off this year or next. Behind us, at the entrance to the canyon, where the road is blocked to vehicular traffic by a line of large boulders, the leading edge of Las Vegas is visible as it metastasizes deeper into the 21st century. While the population of the city from 1990-1996 increased 190 percent, the size of the urbanized area grew 238 percent, a lopsided trend that continues today. www.lasvegasweekly.com /2004/02/19/feature.html
