Conservation Halton’s Post

Hands down, my favourite day of the WHOLE YEAR is the one where we sit together as a team and select charities to support. This year, we are proud to support six UK-based charities working to support and restore ecosystems and habitats. Our 1% for the Planet pledge means that we have committed to giving a minimum of 1% of revenue (not profits!) every year to environmental causes around the world. In a world where "doing the right thing" is often considered too inconvenient or too expensive, this is one way that we can give back. Supporting grass-roots charities in this way means so much to the charities, and to us as a company. It's a MUCH better use of money than frittering it away to shareholders or bonuses or corporate away days. What if your company joined ? #giving #environmental #EarthDay

POWER IN PARTNERSHIP Our partnership with TLT LLP is a great example of how collaborating with business to have an impact for #nature #climate and #community can be genuinely powerful. Not only can it help fund real on the ground impact in the form of: >Free nature education and connection for schools and charities >Community building through access, events, and volunteer groups >Nature recovery in the form of rewilding and rewetting projects >Climate action through peatland restoration, native tree planting and natural regeneration But also helps a business embed, deliver, and communicate values of environmental and social responsibility enabling them to: >Attract and retain the best purpose driven talent in an ever more competitive market >Add value to their product or service for an increasingly educated and discerning client or customer base >Secure business longevity by safeguarding and enhancing the natural and human resources that ultimately underpin any company >Ready themselves for the impending climate and nature reporting obligations such as SBTI for nature and TNFD >Benefit from favourable finance and positive tender positioning increasingly afforded by robust ESG commitments and delivery #greenfinance #greenbusiness #naturebasedsolutions #naturepositive

At Open, we put our money where our mouth is and invest in projects that bring long-lasting change to communities. We recognise that there will always be limits to how much of an impact we can have directly. This is why, since we were founded, we have donated a proportion of our earnings to charities and organisations supporting impact-related causes. Since 2021, we have donated over $200,000 to organisations such as WWF, 1 Million Women, Greening Australia and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. In 2023, we partnered with the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT), donating more than $100,000 - our largest investment to date. KKT supports Indigenous rangers to live on their ancestral homelands and manage roughly 65,000 square kilometres of remote, rugged and ancient landscapes in one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich regions of Australia.

I am really excited about Severn River Association's #oysterrestoration program this summer! It's kicking off next month in three big ways: 1) We are putting in 10 MILLION #oysters on our #restoration reef at Traces Hollow 2a with the help of our partners Oyster Recovery Partnership -- and with YOUR HELP (see the match grant alert below): https://lnkd.in/g9UgCMY7 2) Our #MarylandersGrowOysters program participants will be planting their home-grown oysters on a different area of Traces Hollow starting June 1. SRA has the largest MGO program with over 300 households growing oysters in cages off of docks/piers for nine months while the spat on shell grow big and strong enough for planting on a #reef. 3) With our boat Sea Girl finally repaired and back in the water, we will be fitting her with a newly designed instrument. Late this summer that instrument will pump oyster #larvae onto yet another #restorationreef for 'direct setting', a new technique that may be able to supplement (but not supplant) our other restoration techniques. This is thanks to a grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust and the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance. #ConnectProtectRestore #OysterRestoration #SevernRiver #EnvironmentalConservation #OysterReef #MarineConservation #SustainableFuture #EcoFriendly #CommunityImpact #MarylandersGrowOysters #ReefRestoration #SpatOnShell #OysterRecovery #HealthyEcosystems #SupportLocal #NonProfit #ChesapeakeBay #ChesapeakeOysters #OceanHealth #AquaticLife #ConservationEfforts #SeaGirl #InnovationInRestoration #OysterLarvae #RestorationTechniques

At The Ocean Foundation, being a community foundation isn't just about where we're located—it's about who we serve and how we serve them. The #ocean is our client, and our #community is every one of us who depends upon her. 🌊 💡 As a non-governmental nonprofit 501(c)(3) international public foundation we rely on donations from individuals, families, corporations, and government agencies to support the communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. 🌎 Our solutions are about people and nature, not people or nature. Hence, our approach is holistic, recognizing the intertwined relationship between our planet and its people. From climate regulation to job creation, a healthy ocean benefits us all. That's why we take a people-centered, multidisciplinary approach to drive long-term change. We need to help people to help the ocean.

Can you help? Just seven days during which we can double your donation. We're raising money to support our citizen scientists. From riverfly surveying to outfall safari we want to empower people to care for their local stretch of the River Aire. https://lnkd.in/eBuYDP_i Our rivers tell a story. By surveying the bugs found within them each month our volunteers help stop polluters. Sewage and industrial spills shouldn't be harming our rivers but it takes evidence to make them stop. By training riverfly monitors we can press the Environment Agency and polluters to make a change. Just £50 will train a pollution spotter to walk their local beck. £200 will equip a pair of riverfly monitors to monitor a vulnerable stretch of river month after month. Every donation you make between 18-25 April will be matched by the Big Give. One donation, twice the impact. #BigGive #BigGive2024 #doubleyourdonation #doubleyourimpact
