D ay Tr i p s EXPLORE THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES OF SOUTHERN NEVADAONE AT A TIME

Desert National Wildlife Refuge The wild life in Las Vegas is second-rate compared to the REAL WILDLIFE of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge just 20 miles north of the Strip. This largest national wildlife refuge (2,300 square miles) in the lower 48 states encompasses the Sheep Mountain Range and was established in 1936 for the protection of the desert bighorn sheep. We will start with an hour visit to the new visitor center and short easy trail walk to see some of the wetland habitat restoration. Then we will hop into the vans for a drive on back roads up and over the Sheep Mountains through spectacular mountain, desert, and forest scenery with occasional stops for stretches and close looks at wildflowers, birds, and (if we’re lucky) bighorn sheep. Bruce Lund Sat | Sep 13 | 8am-5pm | $95* UNLV Paradise Campus, Back Parking Lot | 143EX1227

Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge Amazing as it may seem, 26 plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth live within the 23,000 acre Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, about 100 miles west of Las Vegas near Pahrump, Nevada. This is the greatest concentration of endemic species in the United States. We will meet some of them as we explore some of the 50 springs and seeps, enchanting marshlands, streams, and ash/mesquite groves in the middle of a harsh landscape of Mojave Desert alkali flats. Expect to walk two to three miles on boardwalks and maintained trails with spectacular mountain and desert views and to meet wildflowers, birds, butterflies, and dragonflies (which we will net and release).

Venture to the Las Vegas Distillery and Pahrump Winery for handson interactive tours. At each venue you will discover the business’ history and the processes involved in producing unique liquors in the middle of the desert. Enjoy a welcoming cocktail and appetizer at Las Vegas Distillery while viewing a short film on Nevada’s first artisan distillery.

All remaining classes will meet in the large landscaped area behind the Paradise campus with your pet.

Congratulations to Heath Hiudt
