"The Wild Mountain Fire and Forestry Foundation is making a real difference in preserving the great beauty of our forests and prairies and in helping to keep our homes and ranches safe from fire and I'm proud to be working with them. But the real fire-break is you. Anything you can give could make the difference between safety and devastation. So please do what you can. This is our country. Lets keep it from burning up."
- Michael Martin Murphey
We Need Your Help
Our work is only possible because of the generous support from people like you.
We really need your help so we can keep America from burning up. On 2007 alone, we lost nearly 8 MILLION acres, thousands of homes were destroyed and forest and wildlands were reduced to ruin, especially in the Western States. If every individual reading this would commit to just a few dollars donation or, whatever they can give, 100% of that money will go to saving our wildlands and, making our communities less susceptible to devastating fires.
Please help us so we can help. CLICK HERE to make a donation by mail. Or click the link below for a secure online donation through PayPal
