Many Red Rock plants—like yucca and Joshua trees—were used by Indigenous communities for food, tools, and medicine. The canyon is shaped by thousands of years of Native knowledge. This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the original caretakers of Red Rock Canyon and the deep cultural roots that still guide this landscape today.

We challenge you to take action: • Learn something new about Red Rock’s Indigenous history • Share it • Support conservation efforts that protect this land
Honor the past. Protect the future.

This Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be thankful for…

✅ Red Rock Canyon celebrated its 35th birthday as a National Conservation Area.

✅ Over 100 volunteers signed up to attend our Lovell Canyon Volunteer Day, restoring trails and signage, removing invasive vegetation, repairing fences, collecting litter, and more!

✅ Your voices – twice – helped prevent the sell off of public lands by members of congress.

✅ The Red Rock Legacy Trail, after 20 years of ongoing effort, broke ground on Phase 1 in July.

✅ Red Rock Canyon NCA and Save Red Rock launched a series of Star Parties, and are on track to achieve an Urban Night Sky Place designation for Red Rock Canyon by Dark Sky International.

✅ We recycled over 3,495 lbs. of clothing, books, and used goods and 50 pieces of furniture and other large items for our Savers FUNDrive for World Recycling Day.

✅ We attended events with The Refuge Climbing Gym, Red Rock Canyon NCA, Friends of Red Rock Tortoise Trot, UltraX Nevada, Southern Nevada Pedal Fest, and Chainsmoker Mountain Bike Race.

While Red Rock Canyon has been protected for the last 35 years, another 35 years is not guaranteed. Join in or donate today to make sure this sacred landscape is protected.

Thank you for making a difference with your continued support. 🌍❤️

Warm wishes this Thanksgiving from Save Red Rock! 🦃

This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the first protectors of Red Rock — the Southern Paiute and other Indigenous nations who’ve safeguarded this sacred desert for generations.
Respect the land. Learn its history. Help protect it for the future. 💚

🚨ACTION ALERT
The Department of the Interior plans to repeal the Public Lands Rule, removing conservation as an official use across 245 million acres of public lands and waters.

This move would return us to an extraction-first model that prioritizes corporate profits over communities, wildlife, and future generations.
The Public Lands Rule, established in 2024, recognized that conservation, recreation, and cultural protection are just as vital as mining and drilling. Repealing it would erase that progress.

We have until November 10 to tell the Bureau of Land Management that conservation must remain a priority.
Learn more and take action at saverredrock.com.
