MAWR follows the tradition of mutual aid, in which people facing similar challenges work together to design and implement solutions, while drawing on strengths and resources that exist within the community. We envision a just transition where people and wildlife co-create thriving ecosystems grounded in mutual care and equity.

We invite values-aligned partners to join us in advancing our vision. Together, we can ensure that the Finger Lakes region thrives as a sanctuary for both wildlife and the diverse human communities that share its landscape.
