Windermere Hills in Nevada’s Elko County is part of a working ranch named as a conservation priority for Pequop Mountains mule deer, part of the state’s Management Area 7 herd, by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. In this second episode of a four-part series, Remi Warren explains why this 23,000-acre property is vital to the seasonal migrations of Pequop Mountains mule deer—a major factor in an RMEF-led land conservation project to keep Windermere Hills intact for muleys, elk and other big game.
The property contains two heavily used highway wildlife crossings—an overpass and underpass that allow mule deer, elk, pronghorns and other animals to avoid collisions with vehicles—on U.S. 93. It’s a critical link between summer and winter ranges, and it’s one worth conserving.
More than 35,000 mule deer crossings depend on land like this. Keep these corridors open. Visit rmef.org/windermere.
