Field Guide to Benefit White Tank Mountains Conservancy
Reach for your White Tank Mountains Field Guide when you want to identify native plants or animals. Local Waddell historian and author Karen Krause recently published the pocket guide and has generously donated all proceeds to benefit the White Tank Mountains Conservancy. Initial printing costs were covered by a grant from Arizona Public Service (APS).
Supported by a $6,647 grant from APS, the guide went on sale at a book signing on November 24 at the White Tank Library. It can be purchased online for $10 plus $5 shipping or soon available at the WTMRP Nature Center.
