The Ford Bronco Wild Life Fund: Protecting Nature's Wonders

Speaker 1:
The wild is calling on all of us all the time and every time. It's pulling us out of the everyday to explore, protect, and find meaning. In New England, few places do this like the White Mountain National Forest. That's why for years, Bronco Wild Fund and the National Forest Foundation have supported this place and many others through stewardship, protection, and access for all. First-timers, old-timers, everyone and every dog like Nicole and Ro, a couple of lucky locals.

Nicole:
Ready? The east is not known for having big mountains or really sprawling landscapes, but within the White Mountain National Forest, we have really cool, rugged alpine zone. We have mountains that feel like really big peaks and we have a ton of space to roam. You are always able to find somewhere new and like an ever-changing landscape and playground. It's been really cool to see the impact Bronco Wild Fund has had here, planting trees, rehabbing trails, and just supporting the outdoor community. They're also helping out the Trailhead Steward Program here, which is basically a team of friendly volunteers who help foster safety and responsible recreation outdoors. Hi Fawn, good to see you at this trail head again.

Fawn:
Hi, Nicole. Hi, Ro. How are you guys doing?

Nicole:
We're good. We're just out for a little hike.

Fawn:
Awesome. Where are you headed today?

Nicole:
We are going to go up to Champion Falls.

Fawn:
Oh, my favorite. And it's running so well with all the water that we've had, so it's great. However, we are getting reports from people on the way down that the rocks are slippery on the water crossing, so be careful.

Nicole:
Okay, thank you. Well, we'll see you soon then.

Fawn:
Excellent. Have a great hike.

Nicole:
Thanks, Fawn.

Speaker 1:
Adventure always has been and always will be a bond between people and nature. And in that same spirit, Bronco Wild Fund and the National Forest Foundation are proud to protect and promote these important places together. Because it's never just about the destination, it's about how you get there and who you bring along for the ride. So as long as the wild keeps calling, we'll keep being there to answer.
