Western Watersheds Project is no different from other conservation groups. As WWP expands its scope and efforts, our needs and responsibilities grow proportionally. Last spring WWP's unique Greenfire Preserve was in sore need of exterior paint, so a volunteer crew of board members and supporters dedicated their Memorial Day holidays to the project. We deeply appreciate the time and effort of all those who helped.

We have various other needs -- and welcome benefactors who are willing to share or donate the cost of the following items:

• Camera adapter for spotting scope at Greenfire Preserve. The adapter would allow us to document species and populations of wildlife at the preserve for conservation grants and projects. Estimated cost: $350.

• Repairs to Greenfire vehicles. The vehicles are regularly used to haul equipment, supplies, and conservation goods, and to access grazing allotments for field monitoring.

• Replacement unit for the pantry refrigerator at Greenfire, where WWP events are regularly held and guests are housed. Maximum dimensions: 33"W x G7"H x 2G 1 /2"D.

• Replacement of furnishings and accessories at Greenfire. Included are living room chairs, outdoor tables and chairs, and bathroom sink faucets.

If you're able to contribute to any of these items or assist in any of our volunteer projects - or if you know someone who can -- please contact WWP Secretary-Treasurer Gene Bray in Boise at 208-888-3293 or gene@westernwatersheds.org.
