Thanks for the links on TNC. Last year this time, I was getting The Nature Conservancy's Arizona and National magazines. My friend contributes to them and would pass them on to me.

Oh what pretty pictures. And what a nobel idea to save the environment.
NOT. I was soon awakened to the vast amounts of land they are after, then re-read these magazines, and took a look at the contributors and the amounts of money and estates that people were leaving to them. One man in Northern Arizona left them 70 million dollars. Then they put out requests for furniture, computers, dishes, for the stewards cabins on the protected sites.

They seduce the wealthy who want to leave a legacy of good. That is so wrong.
