Our 40th anniversary events are all about connecting with you, our readers!

This year, to celebrate the momentous occasion of High Country News turning 40, we plan to throw a HUGE weeklong party: at least 40 FUNdraising parties (40 parties for 40 years) to be exact. To be successful, we need your help to host or attend a party in your town (the week of Earth Day, April 17th-25th, 2010) that brings together your local community of High Country News fans and newcomers alike.

This feisty little nonprofit organization has been through a lot over the years, and we wouldn’t be here without you. So join our cause to sustain High Country News for the next 40 years and beyond:

  • introduce High Country News to new readers
  • grow our community of "People who care about the West"
  • fundraise for our Research Fund, which pays our reporters and photographers to get on the ground in the West
