Good morning,
Today’s forecast calls for a sunny day, with a high of sixty-five degrees.
It’s Earth Day.
There’s no better way to celebrate than to support the work of the Nature Conservancy, “the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people.” Here’s a description:
We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished since our founding in 1951:
We’ve protected more than 119 million acres of land and 5,000 miles of rivers worldwide — and we operate more than 100 marine conservation projects globally.
We have more than 1 million members.
We work in all 50 states and more than 30 countries — protecting habitats from grasslands to coral reefs, from Australia to Alaska to Zambia.
We address threats to conservation involving climate change, fire, fresh water, forests, invasive species, and marine ecosystems.
Why We’re Successful — It’s how we work that has made the Conservancy so successful — and makes us optimistic that we can expand that great conservation work to meet the challenges ahead:
We use a science-based approach — aided by our more than 700 staff scientists. We pursue non-confrontational, pragmatic solutions to conservation challenges.
We partner — with indigenous communities, businesses, governments, multilateral institutions, other non-profits…and people such as yourself.
At Lincoln School, proud home of the Leopards, it’s Market Day. Pickup is scheduled for the upper gym from 5 to 6 p.m. Tonight at the Middle School, 5th grade parents and students are invited to visit at 6:30 p.m.
