Two Wolf Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering personal connection, continued service, and posttraumatic growth in the lives of military veterans and former first responders.
Through their Warrior Stewardship program, TWF deploys small teams to serve our public lands, participating in a wide range of conservation and stewardship projects. Working together as a small unit, these Warrior Stewardship teams maneuver across the western United States in our fully outfitted expedition vehicles, embracing the adventure of overland exploration.
WST.006 served the needs of Inyo National Forest staff by assisting in several single-day projects that benefited both the Forest and a multitude of recreation user groups.
Impact Outcome #1: Trash removed from .75 miles of Convict Lake shoreline, two trailheads, and two day-use parking areas. Graffiti removed from Convict Lake
information kiosk at Convict Lake Picnic Area.
Impact Outcome #2: Four USFS designated eco restoration areas were established with the help of Team 006. This included the sanitizing of “user created trails” that put areas at risk of closure due to damage of endangered flora. The team also executed emplacement of carsonite signage at each location.
Impact Outcome #3: Removal of encroaching vegetation on Forest Service Trail 2S137 which included chainsaw operations by certified USFS staff and removal of downed trees, cut limbs, and vegetation from the area by Team 006. This was
done to reduce cosmetic damage (pinstriping) to motor vehicles using this trail to access Deadman Creek access site.
WST.006 was able to interact with the public in so many one-off / chance moments as they traveled. Each interaction left individuals with a positive opinion of the overland community because of the team’s purpose (traveling with the intent to steward public lands).
