Gold Butte National Monument Habitat Restoration

Leave the lights of the city behind with this unique opportunity. Spend a weekend in Gold Butte National Monument helping maintain critical habitat for the endangered Relict Leopard Frog. This project helps ensure the long-term growth and recovery of a species, once thought extinct.
This spring's dependent species, once endemic to many parts of the Lower Colorado River Basin, has seen a drastic decline in its population since the 1930s. Many freshwater springs have been lost due to infrastructure development along the Colorado River. Rediscovered in the 1990s near the Overton Arm of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and small sections along the Virgin River, this species has been reintroduced into freshwater springs in Southern Nevada to support the recovery of its population.
