Sagebrush to Sandstone: A Humanities Guide to Outdoor Nevada
Sagebrush to Sandstone is a program series of Nevada Humanities that encourages Nevadans to explore the outdoors, learn about the cultural and natural history of this region, foster close contemplation, appreciation, and immersion in the places we encounter, and think more critically about our role in environmental stewardship. Our programs include creative workshops, facilitated literary walks, and conversations with humanities and scientific experts throughout the state.
