The Service is joining Hispanic Access Foundation in celebrating Latino Conservation Week from July 16-24 as a demonstration of Latino commitment to conservation and the permanent protection of our land, water, and air.

Throughout the week, we will share posts featuring our Hispanic Access Foundation interns and the events they’ve put together.

This week is Latino Conservation Week, and local groups are putting on events to draw more people to the outdoors. The Hispanic Access Foundation, the Sierra Club, Conservation Land Foundation and Chispa are helping organize the event in Nevada. 

Place matters to all people. Latinos included. Many of our families have lived in this great nation for a long time and have lived on and worked the land. In some cases, our stories in those places are told today, and many are not.

From Lake Tahoe, our treasured Jewel of the Sierras, to the mountains and high deserts of the east; the seas of sagebrush of the north to the red rock canyons of the south, Nevada is as beautiful as it is unique. Millions of Americans and visitors from all around the world come to Nevada to hike our mountain ranges, hunt and fish, and enjoy our stunning wild landscapes.
