CWP Receives New Frog Conservation and Youth Education Funding

The Cienega Watershed Partnership is pleased to report that we have secured new funding to support the following projects:

Frog Conservation

CWP was awarded a third five-year agreement with the Bureau of Land Management to partner on frogs and environmental education in the Cienega Watershed, especially at Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. Specific funds of $25,000 were approved to study the chytrid disease presence in Chiricahua leopard frogs at Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. Learn more about our FROG Project.

2017 Youth Engaged Partnership (YES!)

In June, CWP received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to fund the Youth Engaged Partnership program for 2016 through 2017. Grant funds include summer activities as well as year-round internships and a formal evaluation of program impacts. Learn more about YES! to Youth and Education.
