Abstract

  • UNLV provides stewardship of Walking Box Ranch (WBR) by providing a caretaker who oversees the property, facilitating use of the property by researchers and educators, developing a use and research policy for the property, and coordinating these activities with BLM and in accordance with TNC restrictions.
  • UNLV currently addresses security issues for the property through the presence of the caretaker and two Metro Officers who reside on the property in two recreational vehicles.
  • UNLV continues to work with BLM and Condit, supplying content for interpretation at the future Walking Box Ranch museum.
  • BLM visited the ranch on July 5 to conduct a preliminary safety inventory for an audit that will occur in October. Most issues identified during the visit will be corrected during construction and renovation.
  • Visits to the ranch this quarter included: 22 seniors from the Clark County Parks and Recreation Senior program, 73 members of the Preservation Association of Clark County, 9 residents of Nipton and two overnight stays by professionals
