Help us keep Nevada CWD Free!
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a transmissible neurological disease that is always fatal to animals in the deer family. While CWD has not been detected in Nevada, the disease has been confirmed in three of the five states that border the state including Idaho, Utah, and now California. We need your help preventing it from spreading to Nevada now more than ever.
