As 2024 draws to a close, we at the Wildwood Open Lands Foundation are proud to share the progress we’ve made in supporting responsible recreation and open lands preservation. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to this year:
- Stewardship Events: We hosted four stewardship events, bringing together community members passionate about caring for our shared spaces.
- Training Sessions on Responsible Recreation: To support responsible outdoor activity, we delivered six hands-on training sessions, equipping participants with knowledge to recreate responsibly and protect natural resources.
- Leave-No-Trace Education: In collaboration with Sierra Watershed Education Partners, we conducted twelve sessions on Leave-No-Trace principles, empowering individuals to make sustainable choices in nature.
- Backcountry Experiences: Leading two immersive backcountry events into public lands, we focused on outdoor ethics and sustainable off-road travel, providing participants a deeper connection with our local wilderness.
- Community Engagement: We had the honor of presenting Wildwood’s work at several Nevada community events, emphasizing the power of partnerships in preserving our region’s beautiful open lands.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re eager to explore new opportunities for engaging with the Incline Village community. Whether through partnerships or championing community-led initiatives, we see great potential for extending our mission and fostering an even greater connection with our shared environment.
