basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 27/03/2025As we predicted, a large number of the Joshua trees, Mojave yuccas and several species of cacti are not all getting salvaged for this Greenlink West Transmission Project in Nevada. This is about 20 miles east of Las Vegas. 392
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 12/03/2025The Greenlink West Transmission Project is hiring desert tortoise biologists for 8 weeks to survey for the line in Amargosa Valley/Beatty area, Nevada. This is the lowest pay offer we have ever seen for consulting biologists leading us to wonder if the quality of work has been compromised. 000
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 04/03/2025We were just told that the Devil's Hole Workshop has been canceled this your due to governement credit cards being frozen. It was scheduled to be at the Longstreet Inn and Resort in Amargosa Valley, Nevada 020
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 03/03/2025These pics are about 3 miles from the Greenlink West Amargosa Substation, now under construcrion by NV Energy on BLM land. (you can see the dust in pic 3) After this, the line will head northeast through Crater Flat. We found this desert tortoise in its burrow very close to the planned project. 020

basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 23/02/2025We estimate that the The Greenlink West Transmission Project will remove about 1,200 Joshua trees from its path from Kyle Canyon to Cold Creek in Southern Nevada. We met a crew of consulting biologists who have been putting flags around them all. 030
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Construction is beginning on the Greenlink West Transmission Project near Lee Canyon, Nevada. They are bulldozing new roads and will most likely be removing yuccas and Joshua trees soon. 121
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Uniformly ignored by most environmental organizations, the Greenlink West Transmission Project has begun construction in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. This is the 109 acre Amargosa Substation. Desert pavement scraped right next to Big Dune. 011
basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Rough Hat Clark County Solar Project approved This project will have grave impacts on the already declining Mojave desert tortoise. They expect to move 114 adult desert tortoises and will probably end up crushing 3 times as many juveniles . www.blm.gov/press-releas... 011

basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 20/12/2024The BLM is getting ready to sign the Record of Decision for the Western Solar Plan. Very unpopular plan will weaken regulations for solar developers who never care about the resources they damage. 152

basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 26/11/2024The Rock Valley Energy Center is a 10,000 acre solar application in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. Endemic arthopods, burrowing owls, kit foxes and sweeping open views. The project would need about 3,000 acre feet of water near Ash Meadows. www.basinandrangewatch2.org/solar-projec... 0105

basinrangewatch.bsky.social @basinrangewatch.bsky.social · 18/11/2024We are taking a lot of photos in this location. NV Energy will be blasting and bulldozing this location next year for the Greenlink West line. About eight 180 foot power poles per mile with a 600 foot wide bulldozed right of way. The hills will be blasted. 042
