The mission
of The Appleton-Whittell Research of the National Audubon
Society is to formulate, test, and demonstrate methods to
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, and the Research Ranch
Foundation. The Research Ranch lies three miles south of Elgin,
and 65 miles southeast of Tucson Arizona. For more than 30
years, the Research Ranch has protected grassland ecosystems
through conservation, research, and education.
