Rodeo/Chediski Wildlife Relief Fund established
From the
Arizona Wildlife Federation
In addition to the destruction that
the Rodeo-Chedeski fire caused to the towns and communities of
northern Arizona, more than 400,000 acres of wildlife habitat that
provided food and shelter for thousands of wild animals was burned. Money
is needed urgently for projects to rehabilitate burned areas and to
limit the damage to trout streams and lakes from runoff from the
burned areas.
In order to help fund these efforts the Arizona Wildlife
Federation, Arizona's oldest conservation organization, has
established a Rodeo/Chediski Wildlife Relief Fund. Donations to this
fund will be used to support the efforts of the Arizona Game and
Fish Department, the US Forest Service, and the Arizona Wildlife
Federation to restore wildlife habitat in badly burned areas and
to assist wildlife populations displaced by the fire.
Donations can be made to the Rodeo/Chediski Wildlife Relief
Fund account number 16078 98333 at any Bank One branch around
the state.
For more information please contact David Gowdey, Executive
Director of the Arizona Wildlife Federation, (928) 635-9070 or
Ken Haefner at the AWF Head Office (480) 644-0077.
