Protectors of Tule Springs envision a National Monument with tourism appeal to both domestic and international travelers, recreation and educational opportunities for Nevada residents, and active scientific study.  A National Monument of 25,000 to 30,000 acres that borders the Sheep Mountain range and the Desert National Widlife Refuge, that encompasses the Upper Las Vegas Wash to Corn Creek Springs.

Moreover, we support IMMEDIATE designation, through Congressional action or a Presidential declaration, of a National Monument managed by the National Park Service with active and ongoing support by other federal land managers and local governments.

• A world-class scientific research institute where visitors can watch scientists at work.
• An architecturally beautiful Visitor Center filled with fossil displays, interactive exhibits and video productions.
