Sheep Range Tour
The tour will visit the NevCAN Sheep Mojave Desert Shrub monitoring station north of Las Vegas within the FWS Desert National Wildlife Refuge. During the tour, you will be provided information about the NevCAN goals and instrumentation as well as webcam access to all NevCAN station locations. Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothing. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and stable, closed-toe walking shoes are highly recommended. Water will be provided. The tour involves an approximate ½ mile easy walk (one way) from the parking lot to the station along a desert trail with a very mild slope. March 26, 2013 Sheep Range Tour
