🚨 Urgent Action Needed! 🚨
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages more public land than any other federal agency, including managing Red Rock Canyon NCA. In spite of that, it is severely underfunded and under- staffed —even though visitation numbers are soaring! 🌍📈
But you can help! Congress is currently deciding the BLM’s budget, and our Time To Care Campaign is here to make sure they know we NEED PROPER FUNDING for this crucial agency. 🌟
Why is this so important? It’s essential to safeguard the unique cultural and biological heritage of our lands, ensure that public spaces are safe and accessible for all, and support long-term, effective management to maintain the health of our landscapes.
📬 Take Action Now: Send a letter to your senators and representatives urging them to increase funding for the BLM. Your support helps protect our public lands for today and for future generations!

🌵🐢 Look Who We Found! 🐢🌵
During a recent outing, we discovered this adorable baby desert tortoise making its way across the landscape! Just look at how tiny and cute it is. 🌟 Wild sightings at Red Rock Canyon are rare, so if you see one consider yourself lucky and observe, quietly, from a safe distance. The desert tortoise is on the endangered species list so it`s important to leave them alone unless they are in immediate danger.
This little guy is a reminder of why our work at Save Red Rock is so important. Protecting the habitat of these precious creatures is at the heart of what we do. Sign our petition to #KeepRedRockRural and support the preservation of this little guy`s home. Every signature counts!

🌟 Happy Labor Day from Save Red Rock! 🌟
Today, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of individuals who make a difference every day. As Theodore Roosevelt wisely said, “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Even on this day of rest and reflection, we are continuing our work to make sure Red Rock Canyon stays safe, rural and environmentally sound. Our work never stops, and neither do we.

🌄🚗 A scenic byway is a designated road (in this case, by the State of NV) recognized for its outstanding natural beauty, cultural significance, or historical value. It offers a picturesque and enriching travel experience, highlighting the best of a region`s landscape and heritage. 🏞️✨
The road that connects Charleston in the North and Blue Diamond in the South, alongside Red Rock Canyon (SR-159), has been given this important distinction. 🌟🚴♀️🏃♂️ Whether you`re driving, biking, running, or simply passing through, this route is meant to be enjoyed and savored.
Use caution and take in the breathtaking scenery! 🌵🌅🚶♀️

The towering cliffs at Red Rock Canyon are made of Aztec Sandstone, which formed from ancient sand dunes about 180-190 million years ago. The striking red color of the sandstone comes from iron minerals rusting, while areas with less color have had their iron washed away.
Some red spots are actually iron balls called "Indian Marbles" that are tougher than the surrounding rock. Millions of years before, the area was covered by an ocean where limestone built up, and you can still see these old limestone layers at La Madre Mountain.
Fossils of dinosaurs and other early creatures have been found in the sandstone. A huge fault, called the Keystone Thrust Fault, pushed the older limestone over the younger sandstone about 65 million years ago, shaping the dramatic landscape we see today.

Red Rock Canyon is managed by the Bureau of Land Management not the National Parks Department, so it`s part of the Public Lands system, but not a park.
Whereas a park might be more focused on recreation, Congress designates National Conservation Areas to conserve, protect, enhance, and manage the resources of public lands for current and future generations.
This means that BLM is in charge of ensuring that Red Rock Canyon NCA has careful preservation and protection. Conservation seeks the proper use of nature, while preservation seeks protection of nature from use.

One! Scenic Byway SR-159 is the only road that gives you access to the many trails and ecological marvels in Red Rock Canyon NCA. If a planned development of 3,500 homes goes through, we could see more than 10,000-15,000 more cars on this road each day. How will that impact the safety and serenity?

REMINDER! Register your little ones for this year`s Diamond Kid Triathlon!
