Overview
The Wilderness Society works to protect, connect, and restore America's wilderness through a combination of public education, partnership building, scientific analysis, outreach, and advocacy. This grant will support the Society's work to protect over one million acres of wilderness in the southwest desert of Arizona through its Wilderness Support Center (WSC), an organizing and outreach project with the Society. The Sonoran Desert is one of the most ecologically diverse places in the West. Wilderness protection is a key strategy in our strategic plan. This is a companion grant to the one proposed for the Sonoran Institute.
(New, $30,000/1; 14% of project budget)
