The Fund partnered with the Hopi Tribe, Mohave County Arizona Water Authority and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to acquire 2,800 acres of nonproductive farmland from the Cibola Valley Drainage and Irrigation District adjacent to the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge.

It will be donated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to enlarge the refuge.
