Steve Anderson: Nevada - More than a sagebrush ocean

The basin and range province provides for unique habitats for plant and animal species. Isolated mountain ranges stand in stark contrast to the surrounding deserts and contain many plants that are similar to the northwest. The presentation will concentrate on northeast Nevada and discuss plants, animals and some land management issues.

Steve Anderson graduated from the University of Idaho with a BA in wildlife-fisheries resources and worked for the US Forest Service for more than 30 years. He also spent time in Kenya working for the Peace Corps."
