"The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive."
So it is claimed. But when I visited the Dutch Henry Falls Preserve on April 14, 2007, I found a scene that contradicted that mission statement. This preserve is part of the Nature Conservancy's 25,000 acre holdings in Moses Coulee, Douglas County, north-central Washington.

The Nature Conservancy, an international conservation organization of high and usually deserved reputation, prides itself on "saving the Last Great Places". TNC has over 25,000 acres of "shrubsteppe" an endangered landscape of sagebrush and perennial grasses, in the Moses Coulee area of north central Washington state. Unfortunately, TNC grazes much of their "shrubsteppe", and the destruction continues. YOU CAN'T SAVE IT IF YOU GRAZE IT!
