With a landscape that is historically, ecologically, and geologically diverse, Red Rock Canyon stands out as Las Vegas's premier outdoor destination. As one of Nevada's leading land conservation nonprofits, the Southern Nevada Conservancy fosters opportunities for visitors and students to interact with and understand this special place.
We are a 501c3 Las Vegas nonprofit providing interpretive & educational programs and visitor services. The Conservancy works as a cooperating association partner with the Bureau of Land Management, providing services, public land conservation, and programs that enhance the visitor experience at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

What better place to foster interest in STEM careers than in the great outdoors? What better time to encourage good stewardship of public lands than now?

Your Support Matters
There is so much public land in Nevada, and so many people who only use a few small corners of it. I support the SNC because they help nascent outdoors-people spread their wings to explore further and more freely.

Being a member of SNC ensures that I stay informed of events and activities that occur on our public lands, as well as support environmental education efforts.
