Clan Alpine #1 The recent guzzler build in the Clan Alpine Range, held on May 3rd, was a resounding success thanks to the outstanding turnout and support from volunteers, NDOW personnel, and NBU directors. A total of 159 individuals participated in the effort. This guzzler was sponsored by the Cheek family of Fallon, who secured naming rights during the recent Fallon NBU banquet. The project features a 54' x 65' apron, five storage tanks, a trough, and protective fencing. Water trucks filled the tanks to near capacity by Saturday afternoon. We were especially excited to welcome many new faces, including Dennis Birch, who made the long trip from Sugar City, Idaho. Boy Scout Troop 152 attended their first guzzler build with 12 scouts and five leaders. Representatives from the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, including Noah Davis, also joined us. The team filmed the project and conducted interviews for an upcoming documentary highlighting the importance of guzzlers for Nevada wildlife. This guzzler was also our third annual NBU Youth/Family guzzler build and we had a great turnout despite the wet weather! GUZZLER PROJECTS By Steve (Rocky) Hall
