Help Wolf Reintroduction in the Grand Canyon Region
Here is a great volunteer opportunity at Grand Canyon (South Rim and North Rim!)
Supported by a large consortium of organizations, the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project is looking for volunteers to staff information tables or tents between 21 May and 26 Aug 2006. They will provide a stipend if you can pledge 5 or more days to this job.
They are also looking for additional base camp materials, like campers, stoves, etc. You can see their list at the ADLAZ web site, or contact Nicloe Corbo at info@gcwolfrecovery.org .
For all the details of this courageous effort, go to these websites:
