Sloughs Wildlife Management Area, KY

As part of its innovative Carbon Sequestration Program, the Fund is working with leading corporations to address two of the nation’s top environmental concerns: climate change and habitat protection. In 2005 the Fund partnered with Cinergy Corporation, Environmental Synergy, Inc., the state of Kentucky and Toyota to acquire 300 acres for the Sloughs Wildlife Management Area. When they are replanted, the native trees here will trap 400 tons of carbon dioxide and provide crucial nesting and feeding grounds for migratory waterfowl.
