Nevada, known for its night life and gambling in cities like Las Vegas and Reno, seems like a place where you would only find bitter old gamblers and empty alcohol bottle. Only when the night fades and the morning begins to peek do you notice the beautiful sun rise to our east, slowly filling the Truckee Meadows with life and vibrant color. Many will never see what real beauty Nevada holds, Many will never know what its like to be atop Peavine, the mountain just northwest of Reno that over looks the entire Truckee Meadows as the sun rises. Many will never see nor understand the beauty of a mother Mule Deer waking its fawn as the sun warms their skin.

This project is aimed towards the education and preservation of Nevada's wildlife. With the world moving as fast as it is, people are slowly misunderstanding things such as hunting, fishing, and taxidermy. 100 years ago, people would hunt and fish in order to provide food for their family, this was a way of life. Now with people slowly forgetting where we came from, hunting and fishing is becoming a taboo. Many people look upon the activities as if it were a virus, the hide from it, dare not speak about it and simply despise it. This is where we plan to help educate them. Behind ever hunter, fisherman, taxidermist, there is a preservation of the wildlife. Wildlife populations are growing every year by the hundreds and in order to keep the wildlife from over populating areas hunters help to maintain the populations to keep the animals from starving or moving into residential areas and eventually being injured or killed my motor vehicles.

We want to better our world with the education of wildlife and what we need to do to ensure that our children and grandchildren will be able to sit atop Peavine or The Pine Forest Range and watch the sun rise along with its beautiful wildlife.
