Hi there, adventurers! I'm Carson Kit Fox, the official mascot of Nevada State Parks! I'm here to help everyone explore, learn, and have fun in the incredible parks we have across this beautiful state.

I invite you and the young explorers in your life to try my favorite activities below!
 

Visit the Elgin Schoolhouse State Historic Site

Immerse yourself into life as a 20th century grade-schooler in this rural one-room schoolhouse. Experience school without today's amenities, discover many of the schools' original items, and visit the teacher's attached apartment.

Tours of the Schoolhouse are available on the first Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment.

Activities include creating a sound map, interviewing a park ranger, identifying scat and animal tracks, and much more! Click here to download the booklet, or stop by the visitor center at any state park.

Keep it Clean with Leave No Trace Principles

  • Keep Wildlife Wild - Observe wildlife from a distance and never approach, feed, or follow them.
  • Leave It As You Find It - Leave plants, animals, rocks, and artifacts where you find them so other visitors and future generations may enjoy them.  
  • Stick to Trails - Hike on designated trails to help protect park resources and keep the park beautiful. 
  • Trash Your Trash - Make sure your trash ends up in a trashcan or dumpster, and recycle when possible. 

Important Reminders for Fire Restrictions and
Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB)

Stay up to date with current restrictions and advisories to stay safe, responsible, and knowledgeable during your visits this summer!

From Dismissed by DOGE to Rooted in Renewal: Lessons from the Soil After AmeriCorps

   From Dismissed by DOGE to Rooted in Renewal: Lessons from the Soil After AmeriCorps On April 28, 2025, I received a text message from my project manager inviting me to a "required Zoom meeting." Like many other AmeriCorps members, I joined, unaware that it would be my last official acts of service, ending May 9, 2025. Within minutes, I and hundreds of others across the country were dismissed. Not for misconduct. Not for poor performance. But because the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) decided our roles were expendable. Just like that, my position as a Literacy Mentor with The United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierras was over. For months, I had poured my energy into helping children unlock the magic of reading.

As an AmeriCorps Member and United Readers Literacy Mentor through United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierras (UWNNS), I had the honor of serving in the classroom of Cottonwood Elementary School in Fernley, Nevada. But I wasn’t walking this path alone, my eldest daughter, Donica Davis-DeLoney, served beside me at Cottonwood, and my youngest daughter, DonRica Davis-DeLoney, mentored students at EC Best Elementary School in Fallon. Together, we were not only literacy mentors, we were mother figures, life coaches, safe space holders, and, most importantly, part of a village nurturing the next generation of readers. My Youngest daughter @DonRica Balancing full-time service and full-time online college was no small task for any of us. It demanded early mornings, late nights, and a deep, unwavering commitment to our students and our studies. But we poured ourselves into this work because we believe in the p...
