It is nice to see a group who does something other than sue for habitat. Nice for the rest of the wildlife too.

You are probably aware that there are very many land trusts in the United States, many devoted at least indirectly to conserving wildlife habitat.
From the few things I have heard of “Vital Ground” they are one of the few that concentrate on bear habitat.
