A gate would be installed in the entrance of a cave located in the north Snake Range in eastern Nevada. The gate would be designed to allow for normal passage for bats and airflow and other small wildlife species that may use the cave for shelter.
Location
The Project is located within the Mount Moriah Wilderness in the Ely Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in White Pine County, Nevada.
