Local 🤝 Global 🎬 Watch this 1-minute video for a special note from COO Laure Fisher, and a peek at how CTM spent a day with Chesapeake Bay Foundation, volunteering in their restoration efforts in honor of our customers as part of #CustomerAppreciationDay. Leadership and team members from across the company spent a half day volunteering at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's restoration plant. We got our hands dirty preparing oysters for replantation and bagging recycled shells to provide homes for baby oysters! Thanks to you, we were able to donate enough money to help plant 250,000 oysters in the bay. Simultaneously celebrating YOU, observing #EarthDay, and honoring our local roots in light of the daily challenges Baltimore – and the global shipping industry – continues to face in the wake of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. ----- 🦪 Why Oysters? 🦀 Native oysters are crucial to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. They filter algae, sediment, and pollutants, and oyster reefs are home to fish, crabs, and other marine life in the Bay. 📉 Unfortunately, the Bay's native oyster population has declined to as little as 1% of historic levels. Restoration efforts like these help improve the Bay's water quality and keep it healthy and full of life for years to come. 🏡 A big part of this work is preparing recycled shells. These shells are used by conservationists to provide new homes for baby oysters to grow and continue restoring the Bay. ❤️ THANK YOU! ❤️ We couldn't do this without you. #CommunityImpact #Volunteer #BestWorkplaces

Did you know that January 6th is celebrated as "National Take Down Your Christmas Tree Day"? If you still have your Christmas tree up, please consider repurposing it. Every year, around 25 million live Christmas trees are purchased in the US alone. Rather than discarding your tree in the trash, where it will occupy a large amount of space and take a long time to biodegrade, you can try one of the following alternatives. * Use the branches to make a bird feeder in your garden * Use the branches to make a wreath * Donate your tree to an organization * Use it as compost * Use it as an animal habitat #reldan #intelligentrefining #preciousmetalsrefining #sustainability

Los Padres ForestWatch is seeking the public's support to permanently protect Tecuya Ridge's 68 acres of forest habitat in Los Padres National Forest, which is near the convergence of California's Los Angeles, Ventura, and Kern county lines. Tecuya Ridge is a place where endangered California condors soar overhead, where black bears and mountain lions and deer roam, and where breathtaking views stretch from the snow-capped Sierra Nevada to Mt. Pinos and the Sespe backcountry. It’s also a place called Tacuy^ that is culturally and spiritually important to Chumash and Yokuts people. By purchasing this land, we can immediately remove the risk posed by logging, mining, and other development. Our long-term plan is to hold the property in a conservation easement to ensure that it will never again come under threat of development. This living, thriving forest will be used for ecological study, education, traditional indigenous gathering and ceremony, and left to do what forests do best—provide wildlife habitat, regulate our climate, replenish the soil, and serve as an inspiration for us all. Our Tecuya Forever campaign seeks to raise $300,000 to cover the property’s appraised purchase price, closing costs, and completion of a long-term management plan and conservation easement for the land. Your donation will help protect this forest in perpetuity, for generations to come. Learn more about Tecuya Forever: https://lnkd.in/g2SjQT-B #conservation #california #environment

Another key habitat for American Bird Conservancy in 2023 has been High-Altitude Andean Forests, particularly within Peru's Vilcanota mountain range (at altitudes between 11,800 and 15,000 feet!). In winter 2022-2023, ABC & our partner ECOAN - Asociación Ecosistemas Andinos coordinated the planting of 45,000 Polylepis trees to help birds like Royal Cinclodes, contributing to a grand total of over 1.6 million trees and shrubs planted in the Vilcanota mountains by ABC and our partners since 2002! ABC and ECOAN are currently working with the community of Quelcanca to create a new 13,000-acre reserve in the Vilcanota network in the coming years. The work, supported by New England Biolabs, enhances the vegetative cover that the birds need. Over time, Polylepis trees capture moisture and provide shade that lichens, mosses, and other plants rely on. It’s important work that has a direct impact, and we aren’t stopping here! For every gift of $20 or more made through December 31, ABC will plant TWO trees in priority international bird habitat in your name or the name of someone special. Donate $100 or more and ABC will contribute toward the purchase of an acre of bird habitat! Give today at https://lnkd.in/gCf3UtR6. #AndeanForestConservation #VilcanotaMountains #HighAltitudeHabitats #PolylepisTreePlanting #RoyalCinclodes #CommunityConservation #QuelcancaReserve #ABCBirds

Did you know today is #WildlifeConservationDay ? An important part of preserving wildlife is protecting their environment and natural habitats. As an environmentally-minded builder, Morgan-Keefe Builders donates tree plantings as move-in gifts for every client. For every tree cut down on the lot prior to construction, MKB donates to plant a new tree. “We always try to limit the number of trees we cut down on a lot when we build a custom home,” Morgan explains. “However, we recognize that even environmentally sensitive buildings have an impact on the environment. Therefore, participating in tree planting projects is one important way the housing industry can help restore what so many have torn down,” Morgan said. Check out these nature-focused orgs Morgan-Keefe gives back to each year and consider making a donation of your own today: 🌲Balsam Mountain Trust 🌱The Nature Conservancy 🌳American Forests #morgankeefebuilders #morgankeefe #luxuryhomebuilder #customhomebuilder #asheville #ashevillenc #balsammountains #blueridgemountains #wncmountains #pisgahforest #landconservation #environmentalstewardship #sustainablebuilding

5 quick facts about the benefit of Buffalo, a #keystonespecies: Buffalo primarily inhabit grasslands, prairies, and plains. These ecosystems are characterized by their rich biodiversity, including a variety of grasses, flowering plants, and shrubs. The presence of buffalo plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the biodiversity of these habitats. By grazing, buffalo help control plant growth, preventing any single species from dominating. Their movement across the landscape promotes soil health through natural fertilization and aeration, encouraging a diverse range of plant species to thrive. This, in turn, supports a wide array of wildlife, including insects, birds, and other mammals, contributing to a balanced and vibrant ecosystem. The reintroduction of buffalo to certain areas has been shown to restore degraded grasslands, enhance plant diversity, and improve the overall health of the environment. 🦬 You can help support our efforts such as solar-powered wells for our rancher partners! No amount is too small to help them have better access to water for their herds. You can donate here: https://lnkd.in/g_Zc-mWu #TankaFund #LandsLivesEconomies #Donate #Buffalo #Bison #TheReturn #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #Resilience #ClimateRestoration #CommunityEmpowerment #EnvironmentalSustainability #SustainableRanching #BuffaloRanching #CulturalRevitalization #Biodiversity #TankaImpact
