NFF Wilderness Stewardship Challenge Webinar
Wilderness Stewardship Challenge Webinar
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) is hosting a webinar regarding the upcoming Wilderness Stewardship Challenge grant program deadline. The Wilderness Stewardship Challenge grant provides matching funds for direct on-the-ground and citizen-based monitoring projects benefiting designated Wilderness areas on America’s National Forests and Grasslands. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, the U.S. Forest Service issued a Stewardship Challenge, calling for all Wilderness areas in the National Forest System to meet baseline management standards by 2014.
NFF Conservation Awards Associate Heather Day will provide an overview of the WSC program, talk about some common pitfalls, and respond to questions from potential applicants.
Please note the event starts at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, December 14, 2011.
