| Desc | WILDERNESS STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM This program is dedicated to restoring maintaining conditions in wilderness areas on public lands across Arizona to preserve ecological integrity improve visitor experience in primitive outdoor settings. Arizona has 90 designated wilderness areas agency resources are insufficent to address needs such as trail maintenance, erosion control, removal of invasive species installation of signage. AWCs Wild Stew WS program assists public lands management agencies with addressing these needs. AWCs WS program coordinates nearly 200 volunteers to conduct stewardship projects primarily on lands of the Forest Service Bureau of Land Management, with 16 projects completed in FY 2017. Projects were completed in Kendrick Mountain, Sycamore Canyon, Miller Peak, West Clear Creek, Red Rock-Secret Mountain, Chiricahua, Superstition, Mazatzal and Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness plus Peloncillo Mountains Arnett Creek. continued at Schedule O | Desc |

| Desc | LAND OF LEGENDS PRESERVATION INITIATIVE This program is dedicated to facilitating the long-term protection of key mountain ranges in the Sky Island region of southeastern Arizona, one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America. Priority areas of interest include the Whetstone Mountains, Cochise Stronghold Dragoon Mountains, Chiricahua Mountains particularly Ku Chish, or Cochise Head, and the Upper San Pedro River corridor. There are significant opportunities to preserve the wilderness character of these and other areas through agency action as both the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management BLM undertake revision of their major land use plans. AWC continued focused dialogue with legislators regarding how natural resources public lands in this region might be better protected through future legislative effort. During the fiscal year, AWC continued working with the key land management agencies to support land use plan decisions that would manage areas as wilderness, primitive backcountry areas, and other conservation areas. continued at Schedule O | Desc |

| Desc | CITIZEN WILDERNESS INVENTORY In this fiscal year, AWC continued an extensive effort to survey public lands in Arizona for wilderness resources. Little citizen wilderness inventory had occurred since the 1980s, and since that time, public lands have seen significant change. AWC began intensive wilderness inventory surveys in 2015, and during FY 2017 we completed four additional proposals for Lands with Wilderness Characteristics LWC in northwestern southeastern Arizona, bringing the current total to 28 LWC proposals encompassing 677,000 acres. The proposals were formally presented to the BLM. Current inventories of wilderness-quality lands are critical to informing agencies of wilderness-quality lands that need proection as agencies revise land management plans propose actions that affect these lands. | Desc |

| Explanation | The organizations lobbying activities in FY2017 consisted of direct lobbying in support of the Sonoran Desert Heritage Act HR 2926, and grassroots lobbying in support of the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument Act HR 3882 in the 114th Congress and HR 360 in the 115th Congress. Companion efforts supported a Presidential Proclamation to declare a Greater Grand Canyon Watershed National Monument. Both bills would preserve areas of key conservation interest to advance AWCs mission. Direct lobbying consisted of meetings with federal legislators and legislative staff representing Senators McCain and Flake, and Representatives Sinema and McSally in Washington DC. Grassroots lobbying activities included electronic communications to AWC members through social media and AWCs website, and outreach at an outdoors expo in Flagstaff. Grassroots lobbying also included social media communication to AWC members to encourage opposition to HJ Res. 44 and SJ Res. 15, that would rescind the BLM Planning 2.0 rule, a rule that advanced more progressive conservation planning approaches on public lands. | ExplanationTxt |

In the previous fiscal year, AWC expanded the Stewardship program to encompass longer-term, more extensive restoration projects with more explicit ecological goals. Grant funding supported the initiation of two riparian restoration projects in the Hassayampa River Canyon Wilderness Arnett Creek. Both projects aim to improve habitat for threatened sensitive species including the Yellow-billed cuckoo, lowland leopard frong longfin dace. The Hassayampa project was completed in the last fiscal year, and the Arnett Creek project was completed this fiscal year. The Arnett Creek project treated removed thick growths of invasive tamarisk oleander, with volunteers hauling out over half a ton of oleander by hand. During FY 2017, AWC led a planning effort to coordinate community partners to work with the Tonto National Forest to improve conditions in existing wilderness areas, through the U.S. Forest Services Wilderness Stewardship Performance WSP Initiative. As part of the WSP Initiative, AWC also assessed existing wilderness areas in the Coronado National Forest CNF to ascertain each areas most important wilderness qualities, producing reports for the CNF known as Wilderness Charater Narratives. Also this fiscal year, for the second year in a row, the Stewardship program hosted the Veterans in Wilderness program, with a very successful Veterans crew trail restoration project completed in the Chiricahua Wilderness. AWC also expanded student involvement, bringing Native American students from Northern Arizona University to work in the Kendrick Mountain Wilderness, maintaining portions of the Pumpkin Trail. This project included education discussion regarding the value of wilderness, wildlife topics public lands issues. Finally, AWC expanded its partner relationships by working with Friends of the Verde River Greenway, Friends of the Forest and One for the Verde on a project impacting water quality in the Verde River Watershed. This project in Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness addressed a problem of significant construction materials abandoned in a remote drainage.

A large part of this effort focused on facilitating public involvement, with considerable citizen response seen to preserve national monuments, and avert damage to public lands from high-impact uses such as energy extraction and recreational shooting. AWC continued strong involvement with the Tonto National Forest Plan Revision, meeting with agency staff, attending public meetings, writing comment letters, facilitiating citizen engagement, and working with partners to advocate for robust protection of wild lands and waters. |
