Project Running Now but Needs Funds

We are a community of business owners who have designed a sustainability project, which showcases people using conservation practices that are historically sound and productive. We are 4th and 5th generation landowners who want to leave a grand legacy to our children's children and on into the future. Help us "Tell Our Story". We want to explain our rural way of life and our commercial activities which have helped local communities get people back to work, fund our schools, and increase the general health of our rural areas. We see the effects of the loss of productivity in our communities, and these include loss of income, stifling morality and mental health issues. We wish to expose the dangers of rural historical productivists becoming dormant. Another goal is to develop relationships with donors that have funded special interest groups which are non-product- producing and which challenge our timber and grazing permits by filing suits against the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and private producers. Such positive relationships can lead to a balanced use of all human, animal and natural resources.
