Recent Successes
When we support an organization, we do so with confidence that they will succeed given adequate resources. This year -- 2009 -- has already brought many exciting successes from our grantees. In March, Congress passed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which included 13 of the projects we supported with our grants. In total, the legislation designated two million acres of Wilderness, 1100 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, and closed the 1.2-million-acre Wyoming Range to new oil and gas development. We hope you'll share our excitement about the recent return on our investments.
