The Udall Bus Tour

This summer, 13 students in their early to mid-20s are hoping to make environmental improvements by raising awareness of and finding solutions for environmental issues and Native American concerns with the Udall Legacy Bus Tour. The excursion, funded by the Morris K. Udall Foundation, a government agency dedicated to educating young people about environmental and tribal policy, began in Washington, D.C., on June 12. The group made 22 stops throughout the U.S., where riders participated in projects from replanting trees to teaching photography to young people in national parks. The tour ends Aug. 4 in Tucson, Ariz.

The Udall Foundation, established in 1992 to honor his legacy, created the bus tour as a celebration of the agency's 10-year anniversary.
