Land & Water Fund
To mark our 10th Anniversary Year The Quivira Coalition is pleased to announce its first campaign:
The Land & Water Fund
The goal of this reserve fund is to improve ecological, economic, social and land health, including the health of The Quivira Coalition.
Land & Water Funds will be applied to projects that improve land health through riparian & upland habitat restoration practices & maintenance, grazing management, ranch infrastructure repair, road rehabilitation, watershed planning, implementation of best management practices, or an educational activity that has a direct impact on soil, grass, or water.
We have received a Challenge grant from Earth Friends Wildlife Foundation. Land & Water Fund.pdf
Money from the Fund will be used in two ways:
1) To support new and on-going Land & Water projects of The Quivira Coalition
(including those that are no longer supported through federal or state grants). For more information about these projects click on the links below.
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $60,000!
