| 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, and 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 21 projects completed in FY 2016. Projects were completed in Fossil Springs, Saddle Mountain, Apache Creek, Chiricahua 5, Granite Mountain 2, Galiuro 2, Castle Creek, Superstition 3, Pine Mountain, Arrastra, and Hassayampa River Canyon Wilderness areas continued at Schedule O | Desc |

| Desc | LAND OF LEGENDS OTHER LAND PROTECTION 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. During the fiscal year, AWC fostered the engagement of volunteer groups and conservation partners to work with these agencies to promote greater conservation management. AWC engaged with the BLM planning process to preserve wilderness qualities in the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area SPRNCA and supported volunteer outreach activities such as interpretive hikes in the SPRNCA. 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 has occurred since the 1980s and 1990s, and since that time, public lands have seen significant change. Current inventories of wilderness-quality lands are critical to informing agencies of wilderness-quality lands that need protection as agencies revise land management plans propose actions that affect these lands. During the fiscal year, nearly 300,000 acres of new wilderness-quality lands were identified in northwestern southeastern Arizona, bringing the total of new wilderness-quality lands to over 600,000 acres since the beginning of this project. The detailed surveys resulting from this work have been presented to staff and state-level managers at the Bureau of Land Management. | Desc |
