The streets of Reno gained a new splash of wilderness - thanks to a collaboration between art, conservation, and Great Basin Guardians! Our recent Great Basin National Park Artist in Residence, Meghan Catherine Dragon, was invited to design artwork for one of Reno’s public signal boxes. She transformed an everyday urban fixture into a striking tribute to Great Basin National Park’s rich biodiversity. Meghan chose to highlight some of the region’s most vulnerable inhabitants - endangered and threatened species - as well as animals that have made a comeback through dedicated conservation efforts.

Would you like to “bee” part of citizen science at Great Basin National Park? Join the Great Basin National Park BioBlitz from June 19th-21st during Pollinator Week! A BioBlitz is a short-term event to learn about the biodiversity of an area. In Great Basin National Park, we focus on one specific taxa, either plant or animal, each year over a 2-3 day period. This snapshot helps us better understand what lives in the park. This sixteenth BioBlitz at Great Basin National Park will focus on Bumble Bees. Register to bee part of this fun and fascinating event! https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/cu/T0YntXk Photo Credit: Kevin Williams #NPSBioBlitz #BioBlitz #Biodiversity #DiscoverYourPark #CommunityScience #TravelNevada #OutdoorEducation #GreatBasinNationalPark #SupportNationalParks #conservation #nationalparks #TravelNevada #GreatBasin #EnvironmentalStewardship (fb)
