We are thrilled that TNC Alaska, in partnership with the Igiugig Village Council, has been awarded nearly $2 million from NOAA’s Climate Resilience Regional Challenge. This funding will help expand the Indigenous Guardians programs to more communities in Bristol Bay, empowering local leaders in conservation and sustainable management.

Opened in 2022, The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire opened their All Persons Trail—a 1.2-mile, out-and-back trail at Manchester Cedar Swamp Preserve. Its design was informed by hours of input not just from people with disabilities but from representatives of historically marginalized communities throughout New Hampshire. Now, disabilities advocates and land managers alike are hoping that the All Persons Trail can be a new model for bringing nature to a broader cross section of the American public. https://lnkd.in/gdSsNUGv

Our June 2024 podcast partnership episode with Mountain & Prairie dives into TNC’s involvement in the West’s renewable energy transition. Host Ed Roberson interviews Peter Gower, Climate and Renewable Energy Program Director for the Western US, and Chris Menges, Director of Climate Action in CO. This was a great episode and helped me understand what we’re doing across the west. You can listen here or wherever you listen to podcasts: https://nature.ly/4bFqWwN

Recently, I had the privilege of helping a group of elders and youth from the Shoshone-Bannack tribe access their historic homeland around the Middle Fork of the Salmon river. I supported with logistics and rowed a raft for tribal members, since this is the only way to access the region. This trip was organized and sponsored by River Newe, an organization that promotes and advocates intergenerational learning experiences within Shoshone-Bannock Traditional Knowledge and Teachings. I’ve been down the Middle Fork a couple of times before, but seeing the river and surrounding area through the eyes of these elders and youth was a new experience. I saw old villages, fishing sites, freshwater mussel beds, and pictographs in a different way. I saw the reciprocal relationship between nature and people- the system supported the Shoshone and they supported the nature that provided for them. I was once again reminded of the value of wilderness trips to young people. It was heartwarming to hear them express how important this area is to them. On the last day, I shared a raft with Sarah, one of the mothers on this trip. She looked up in awe at the canyon walls, and declared she now knows what her ancestors were fighting for. These places are still worth fighting for, and I’m lucky I had the chance to feel it deeply. Read about River Newe here: https://rivernewe.org

I was lucky to recently visit The Nature Conservancy in Oregon's Sycan Marsh Preserve, which has become a "living laboratory" for prescribed fire work after a wildfire burned nearly 15,000 acres of land in 2021. Now, along with partners at the U.S. Forest Service and the Klamath Tribes, conservationists are finding best practices for forest management to prevent and withstand wildfires. Read more in this Forbes piece from TNC Global Board Chair Bill Frist, M.D.
Today in Forbes, I share how prescribed burns can make a dramatic difference in suppressing and preventing wildfires. One only needs to look at the Sycan Marsh Preserve in central Oregon to understand the impact: https://lnkd.in/eissGAwJ The Nature Conservancy #prescribedburns #conservation #wildfire

Boise-based TNC staff got out early to beat the heat and to learn about local wildflowers and bees from collegue, Dusty Perkins! His passion for conservation, scientific expertise on native plants and animals, plus his genuine care for even the tiniest pollinator (spot the bee sleeping inside the flower!) is an inspiration to all on staff.
