The mission
of The Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch of the National Audubon

rehabilitate and safeguard the bioregion, and provide assistance
to citizens and policy-makers in the protection and stewardship
of our native ecosystems, natural resources and quality of
life.
The Research Ranch is a cooperative partnership among the
National Audubon Society, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, the Nature Conservancy, Swift Current Land &
