Citizen Stewardship Program
With funding from the Arizona Community Foundation, the Tucson Audubon Society is participating on a state-wide Citizen Stewardship program, serving with other organizations as a study group to produce portable program(s) that promote citizen stewardship of animals and their environment, whether domestic, in the wild, or in refuge.  The goal is to improve peoples' relationships with and understanding of our natural heritage, in particular animals and their habitat, so that everyone may lead more sustainable lifestyles.  We would like to foster an atmosphere for citizens to be more empathetic and nurturing, to recognize their impact on the environment, and to becoming committed to making a difference through willing and enthusiastic action to protect the environment.  Organizations participating on this founding coalition are:

Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA   www.aawl.org

Audubon Arizona http://az.audubon.org/

Grand Canyon Trust  www.grandcanyontrust.org

Liberty Wildlife  www.libertywildlife.org 

The Phoenix Zoo  www.phoenixzoo.org

Second Chance Center for Animals   www.secondchancecenter.org
