Since 1995 the American Heritage Preservation conducts the Save Outdoors Sculpture programme. To 1997 the involvement of volunteers and the Scouts has made it possible to complete an inventory of approximately 32000 objects, of which about a half require conservation. Grants of $850 dollars were assigned for cost calculations of the conservation. In 1998 the programme embarked on classifying sculptures for conservation, as a rule selecting one object in each region. At this stage, 120 grants, oscillating from $ 1 500 to $40000, were assigned. The campaign of winning funds and conservation is accompanied by an educational programme which aims at rendering society aware of the historical and cultural value of sculptures. A touring exhibition promotes the protection of sculptures. The organisers attach special importance to the participation of the Scouts and plan special awards for the best teams.
