Layia glandulosa - whitedaisy tidytips Layia glandulosa growing on an unstable hillside adjacent to mountain big sagebrush steppe in good ecological condition. It is notable that Layia glandulosa, perhaps like many species of the tarweed subgroup of Asteraceae, is more abundant where disturbance is regular. This species was not observed in the adjacent sagebrush steppe. This site occurs along the Thomas Creek Drainage just east of the Thomas Creek trailhead, southwest Reno, Carson Range, Washoe County, Nevada.

Friends of Nevada Mansion, or FoNM, is a Reno, NV-based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and maintaining the historic Nevada Mansion. FoNM was founded in 2008 by a group of local citizens and has since worked to restore, preserve, and protect the Nevada Mansion. The organization is committed to helping the community understand and appreciate the significance of this local landmark.

The Nevada Mansion is a two-and-a-half story Italianate-style mansion located in the heart of downtown Reno. It was built in 1876 by Nevada's first millionaire, Thomas McFadden. The mansion is a National Register of Historic Places property and is listed on the Nevada State Register of Historic Places.

FoNM works diligently to restore, maintain, and preserve the Nevada Mansion. The organization has undertaken projects such as restoring the exterior of the mansion, creating educational displays, and providing school tours. FoNM also works to preserve the surrounding area, which includes a carriage house and outbuildings, which are also listed on the National Register.

In addition to its preservation efforts, FoNM also hosts a variety of events and activities. The organization has organized lectures, concerts, and art shows, as well as workshops on topics such as gardening and historic preservation.
