Attend or Volunteer for a Defenders of Wildlife Event

From Lisa Hummond, Defenders of Wildlife NM:
I am very excited to announce that Defenders is organizing our first ever lobby trip to DC! I am leaving on Sunday with three fellow New Mexicans to lobby our Congressional members on a variety of issues including the Farm Bill, climate change, funding for conservation, and the Mexican wolf reintroduction program. Wish us luck!

Below is a list of activities Defenders is participating in for the rest of May. I've noted those events for which I am looking for volunteers. And of course, you are more than welcome to just come check out any of the events.
