Verification Hike

2008 NREPA hearings, in Washington DC

We rely upon individual contributions and foundation grants to conduct our ongoing efforts to protect and educate the public about the Wild Clearwater Country. FOC has been singularly influential and effective at environmental protection in this region. Through our efforts, including those of staff, board, and volunteers tens of thousands of acres of critical forest lands have been successfully protected. Hundreds of miles of new roads in roadless wildlands have also been prevented through our efforts

As we are charged with keeping federal land managers accountable, we have chosen to not accept any federal or state dollars to support our efforts.

Through our unique program of feet on the ground verification, we have been able to provide the most accurate and up to date information available anywhere on the boundaries of logging operations and roadless areas in this region.

Through legal challenges, testimony to Congress, satellite maps, community events, school outreach, and strengthening the coalition of environmental organizations FOC will contine to be at the forefront of effective wildland advocacy for decades to come. With your support, we can harness new technologies to better inform policy and our membership, we can inspire young minds and get a whole new generation involved with deeply appreciating the boundless wonder of our natural gift of the Wild Clearwater Country!
