Three community-based programs will be honored during the inaugural National Green Infrastructure Conference, Feb. 23-25, for their efforts to employ cutting-edge strategies to address local environmental and economic challenges.

The Fund finalized a deal transferring a prominent 49-acre bluff to Fort Davis National Historic Site. This is the product of four years of outreach and advocacy by numerous concerned organizations and individuals.

The Fund’s forest-based carbon sequestration project in central Louisiana received gold level validation, the highest level available, under Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, Second Edition.

The Fund helped preserve 820 acres of coastal wetland habitat adjacent to Weeks Bay. The property is located within the acquisition boundary of the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) and is the largest addition to the Reserve since its designation in 1986.
