In 1992, THE Foundation was proud to 

 join a roster of U.S. corporaUons, state 

 and federal government agencies, and 

 many other conservation organizations 

 by conferring a grant to Defenders of 

 Wildlife for its coordination of tlie Na- 

 uonalWatchable Wildlife Program. Our 

 grant is supporting the creation and 

 publicationof 17of the program's state- 

 by-.state, full-color guides to wildlife 

 viewing locauons. The books provide 

 even the most novice nature explorer 

 with information on a state's best sites 

 for watching wildlife. 



To date, we have funded "watchable 

 wildlife" guides for Texas, Arizona, 

 California, Indiana, North Carolina, and. 

 North Dakota. The California guide, for 

 example, detaUs 150 of the state's top 

 wildlife viewing locations — from the 

 Joshua Tree National Monument in the 

 south to San Francisco's Golden Gate 

 State Park — and includes maps and 

 access information, species you are 

 likely to see, helpful viewing tips, and 

 more than 90 color photos. The Foun- 

 dation and a myriad of partners are 

 conmbuting a total of $300,000 to pro- 

 duce the watchable wildlife guides. 

 Matching donors for 1992 include 

 Ackerly Communications, Arizona State 

 Parks, and Florida's Game and Fresh- 

 water Fish Commission.
