Yes!  There is a local nursery that sells only native plants grown from seeds harvested locally.
 
The Special Projects Nursery is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 8:00 am to 11:00 am.
 
The address to reach the nursery is 5020 N El Capitan Way, Las Vegas, just off Lone Mountain.  Please note that this is a private residence address to get you to the nursery but is not a part of the nursery operation.  Park on the side street (La Madre) and enter the nursery through the gates flanked by two large pots.
 
If you have any questions or are looking for something specific please contact Doyle Wayman at 702-219-3853 or by email at wayman.doyle@gmail.com.  It is also a good idea to confirm with Doyle that the nursery has plants as inventory and availability change with the seasons.

​In partnership with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, RRAS was able to send volunteers to assist in bird banding and data collection at the Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge from May to August 2021.

​This was a bird's eye view of the windows at the Visitor Center at Corn Creek, Desert National Wildlife Refuge, Clark County, Nevada. The glass perfectly reflected inviting habitat.

​It’s a bright sunny morning in May as I drive out to Floyd Lamb Park for my next birding adventure with Red Rock Audubon Society. This time, I’m stepping up my game to participate in a workshop for field guides hoping to lead future events. I get out of my car, and a surprisingly cold wind whips my face and skin. Luckily, as a birder, I have a trunk full of backup supplies for the field. I’m grateful for my long jacket.

Previously, I told you the story of a fledgling House Finch. It’s super easy to be cute if you are a baby songbird. But can “Birds of Prey” also be cute and entertaining? Oh yes, absolutely! They can also scare the bejeezus out of you! ​

The Red Rock Audubon Society (RRAS) organized a group of volunteers who spent a morning on March 27th filling in open fence posts in the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Pahranagat/). Red Rock Audubon’s mission is to bring people together for the conservation and enjoyment of birds, other wildlife, and the natural world throughout Southern Nevada and neighboring areas. This event is a part of ensuring this mission is accomplished. 

Whilst some may think that Shoshone CA was built around the Crowbar Café & Saloon, the true source of the tiny town lies in it’s incredible spring. From it flows more than 700 gallons of water per minute, and provides the town with drinking water, fills the pool, the pond and the wetlands. Back in 80’s, a small population of the Shoshone Pupfish was discovered – 12 of them in total. They were put into a small pond near the source of the spring, protected and have grown into a thriving population. These Pupfish exist only in Shoshone, a small city with a variety of wildlife. Len Warren, with The Nature Conservancy, agreed to spend a Sunday morning hosting a Red Rock Audubon birding event, and show us his work in the Shoshone Wetlands. He said, “Let’s meet at the CROWBAR!”
