We make every attempt to cover our own administrative expenses, so that money we raise gets into the field where it belongs. We only contact our members through the mail once a year (our newsletter), as we believe that a conservation organization's resources, and our planet's resources should be conserved, not wasted. Publications: Annual newsletter "Voices from the Wilderness" and informal e-mail updates to our members and volunteers throughout the year Entry created: 2000-11-13 [Update Entry] [Delete Entry] |
