Over 1.1 million acres protected, another 1.1 million to go. We have seen some big wins since the launch of the #MobilizingForMonuments campaign. The designations and expansions of the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni - Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon, Berryessa Snow Mountain, and San Gabriel Mountains National Monuments show us that our advocacy is working. The work is not done, though. We are still pushing state and federal governments to establish the Chuckwalla, Kw'tsán, Dolores River Canyon Country, and Medicine Lake Highlands National Monuments. Doing so would benefit not only the environment, but also local economies, communities, and wildlife. Learn more about these regions and partner with us in efforts to protect them at mobilizingformonuments.com.

BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 The Bureau of Land Management has taken a powerful step to safeguard some of America’s wildest lands by moving to permanently protect 28 million acres in Alaska. Protecting Alaska’s Homelands is a priority TCA campaign because: 1️⃣ This is a huge win for tribally led conservation efforts. 2️⃣ This region connects land conservation and climate. 3️⃣ Protecting Alaska’s Homelands would be a boon for businesses and the economy. More than 140 federally recognized Alaska Native Tribes, local communities, and businesses representing Alaska’s $2.6 billion outdoor recreation industry have voiced support for permanently protecting this landscape. We are proud to have supported that work through on the ground partners like SalmonState. Today’s news is just one step toward finalizing protections for this region.

Please join us in welcoming our new Confluence Grant Program Advisory Committee! Each year, TCA’s Confluence Program funds four organizations led by individuals who identify as people of color that are working on projects to protect outdoor spaces that impact communities near and far. TCA awards each organization $100,000 over two years and strives to engage in meaningful partnerships that add capacity and resources to these community-led efforts. This Advisory Committee consists of individuals from TCA member companies, grantee organizations, and partners and they will lead this year’s Confluence Program grant cycle. We are so thankful for their time and expertise! Learn more about the committee and Confluence Grants at https://lnkd.in/gEHHukuk.

Earlier this month, The Conservation Alliance joined forces with representatives from member companies including KEEN, Adidas TERREX, B.Colective, Puddle Creative, Noto Group Executive Search, and Yukon Trading Co. for a Backyard Collective event hosted by the Columbia Land Trust (CLT) in Oregon. We worked to remove invasive species in the recently protected Nestwood Forest, an 820-acre area which CLT successfully purchased and permanently protected with the help of TCA funding. Together, we cleared a total area of around 1,000 square feet! This will create space for seeding native grasses and wildflowers later this year, followed in future years by planting native trees and shrubs to reforest the slope and restore forest habitat. Learn more about this project at https://lnkd.in/gpPbbx64.

Thank you to TCA grantee Chesapeake Conservancy and the Tribe for hosting our Grants Director, Kim Paymaster, to experience the incredible landscape along the Rapphannock River in Virginia. The group was able to connect with each of the partners involved in this effort and hear from Chief Anne on why this landscape is so important to protect. The Tribe, Chesapeake Conservancy, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation are working together to protect and steward the 4-mile stretch of land along the river called Fones Cliff. It is the ancestral home of the Rapphannock Tribe and an important home for resident and migratory bald eagles, signifying its natural and cultural importance.
