Conserving the American West
Putting a Strategy into Motion
Since our creation more than forty years ago, the Hewlett Foundation has made grants to conserve the North American West. While the approach to grantmaking has changed with the times, our commitment to protecting the land for people and wildlife has never been stronger. This issue of the Hewlett Foundation newsletter focuses on the Environment Program’s strategy for western conservation.
The lead story takes a look at public enthusiasm for conserving public lands. The Q&A with Environment Program Officer Michael Scott offers further insights into the Program’s strategies, and we include the current strategic plan for western conservation.
