Show Personal Efforts at Fund Raising Outside requesting small contributions for my own summer work, which I have largely supported with the aid of my husband, I have made these overtures: 1. To the Northern Rocky Mountain Region group Director, Jackson, Wyoming - a request for funding for work in Utah primarily on wildlife habitat protection. This Group funds only work directed in the northern Rockies and the Director stated that Utah was hopeless, environmentally. 2. I applied to a Montana-based environmental group for a six months internship in Montana to learn activist techniques. I qualified from my experience, but they wanted someone who would benefit the Montana-paid training by working in Montana. 3. I raised over $1,700 to support wildlife habitat research on the Uinta Range. I used my Christmas list for this purpose. This proved insufficient to support a summer grad. student, and $1,000 was given last summer by me to support two Utah State U. students studying the migration of raptors over the Wellesvilles near Logan, Utah. This flyway for some 250 raptors a day ( the larger birds) has never been recognized or studied. The updrafts of the abruptly rising mountain range was used by these birds in their flight south. I subsequently had Utah State U. return to me the remaining $700 for my own needs last summer in Utah. 4. I asked the Wildlife Management Institute for funding for work on wildlife habitat issues in northeast Utah. I applied "too late in the budget year", I was told. 5. While in Denver last Christmas, where my daughter was ill, I worked out a draft for a grant*to enable me to actively develop public concern in Utah for wildlife resources in the northeast region. Since my wealthy brother in California a physician, had given me $500 the previous fall to help me work in Utah, I had the Wilderness Society approach him for $2,500 - a preliminary to a larger grant the Society figured they could try to raise.* I had asked for an annual salary. The fund raiser for the Wilderness Society had worked effectively on wildlife issues on lands related to wilderness in Colorado. We thought the same effort could be worked out in Utah. However, when the fund raiser consulted with the Utah Wilderness Rep., this person, Dick Carter, opposed raising funds for me on the grounds that not all western states had paid, full-time representatives and funds should be committed to this purpose first. The whole Forest Service Roadless Area Review was being carried out and each State really needed a full time Rep. to lead the Wilderness classification effort. 1 \r\ coo f>ev-oc"H 9 r\ wtft> t~h<. £iM*t ^a u e y $<f fi^ tJ• fdtuw-**-* J*?
