Overview
This grant to the Nature Conservancy and the grant below to The Wilderness Society would support costs incurred to detail two of their staff people to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior under the Intergovermental Personnel Act. The two staff people would help the departments develop policy recommendations for a new public lands protection initiative called America’s Great Outdoors. The initiative would identify sensitive ecosystems on Western public and private lands in need of better protection.
