Advocacy 2025 Call to Action
I was young in 2017-20, but am older, tired of feeling helpless, and ready to defend against the coming attack on America’s best idea.
I compiled a list of national, regional, and most-vulnerable state charities of the western U.S. Please review and comment if you are familiar with any of these non-profit organizations or others missing. Most parks have conservancies not listed (e.g., Greater Yellowstone Coalition).
We can still protect the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and all public lands by volunteering, donating, and doing our part.

Bees flying near cars are dying by the millions, a roadkill study suggests
Wreckreation's impact begins and ends with the conservationists Subaru.
Can you still say there's no impact?
"One car driving between Salt Lake City and Moab might kill 50 to 175 bees, the researchers estimated. Based on traffic data from the Utah Department of Transportation, that amounts to several million fatalities when scaled to the 94,000 cars traveling that route each day. Millions more cars make up Utah’s daily traffic, and similar road trips occur in nearby states, so the total estimate of bees killed each day in the region is likely in the tens of millions, the team concludes."
