New agreement between Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and Newmont Mining

Even before the Martin Fire burned more than 430,000 acres in northeast Nevada, many of which contained prime sage-grouse habitat near Paradise Valley, a project to enhance this critical sage-grouse habitat was already in the works. This week, Nevada Department of Conservation & Natural Resources’ Director, Bradley Crowell, signed an agreement with Newmont Mining Corporation to protect sage-grouse habitat at Newmont’s West IL Ranch.
