NWA membership is a rewarding and fun experience. Join in the effort to save Nevada's endangered wetlands and the wildlife dependent upon them. We welcome you to join today. ...
Founded in 1987, the Nevada Waterfowl Association (NWA) was established by individuals concerned with the rate of deterioration of our wetlands. The NWA’s vision is to restore and enhance Nevada’s wetlands and the wildlife dependent upon them, especially waterfowl and shorebirds.
Dedicated to preserving and restoring wetlands and wildlife habitat within the state necessitates the formation of local chapters to help identify areas at risk and generate support at a local level. Through this process, NWA is successful at identifying projects relevant to our cause and creating solutions that enrich our wetlands. Additionally, NWA works in conjunction with various state and federal agencies to reach these goals.
We encourage you to join us in preserving our heritage and promoting a bright future for our wetlands:

For the 17th year, we are continuing the wood duck project. NDOW has always been a great partner and are taking the lead on coordinating volunteers. Please follow their directions if interested, and also, spread the word!VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We have several great opportunities coming up to help us monitor ducks. First, we need volunteers to maintain and monitor wood duck nesting boxes near Fallon. This is a great one for families! The time period for this will be primarily, but not limited to, Saturdays from mid-March through the end of June. Sign up and find more information here: ec.samaritan.com/recruiter/1091/OppDetails/72761/Wood-Duck-Project/
Also, primarily from July through the end of September we will need volunteers to capture and band ducks in Fallon. There will also be nighttime opportunities to capture and band ducks with airboats and bright lights. ec.samaritan.com/recruiter/1091/OppDetails/50834/Duck-Banding/
