#Aboutlastweekend, this is my favorite photo from our morning cleanup, Saturday, April 27, on the Ribault River. Capt. Sam Baker of Sol Margin Fishing & Conservation Foundation had just assisted a youth in catching this fish. I'm not an angler but he called it "a red." Our family from South Carolina said it looked like a spot. I don't know what its name, but before my plant-based lifestyle I called it good food. The look on the Captain's face reminds me of hearing a youngster say, "I did it!" I imagine that's the sentiment every time you have waited expectantly on fish to bite your hook and then, suddenly, it does! Capt. Baker loves nature. He loves fishing, loves the environment, and he loves teaching others about what he loves. Now he has a band of supporters, including us at the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Community Trust, Inc., who want to help him help the community sustain our culture by returning the river to a healthy state. He and Kristopher Smith of the #RibaultSportsmenAssociation, working with the St. Johns Riverkeeper and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Jacksonville, know that a #resilientribault means a #resilientcommunity of #GullahGeechee people who can maintain their #culture through #subsistencefishing and passing down #fishingtraditions to the next generation. #Environmentalconservation is #culturalconservation. Intervening in the #climatecrisis includes providing tools that communities in its path can use to become #sustainable. I'm looking forward to helping Gullah/Geechee people maintain our culture, despite the odds. When the right opportunities bite, we'll reel them in and then we can say, "We did it!"

During Shea Month this July, we're bringing attention to the environmental threats facing shea parklands, the impact on the shea supply chain and the communities that depend on it. This year, we're also focusing on how you can contribute to parkland restoration efforts to combat and reverse these challenges. The Global Shea Alliance partnered with its members to create a comprehensive guide for cultivating shea seedlings in community based nurseries. One of the goals of the Action for Shea Parklands (ASP) initiative is to grow 10 million trees and important to this mission is the availability of tree seedlings. By fostering the creation of community nurseries and motivating individuals to take part in shea and native tree cultivation, we can all play a role in revitalising shea parklands. ASP empowers individuals and communities to actively engage in environmental preservation, secure the shea supply chain and support the livelihoods of those reliant on these trees. Discover how you can get involved and find our guide to sowing shea seeds here: https://shorturl.at/g6hiF #WomenInShea #SheaMonth2024 #Sheaparklands #SahelParklands #Action4shea #Partnership4Shea #GenerationRestoration

Ashington Town Council and Northumberland County Council are reviewing their Enhanced Neighbourhood Services Partnership agreement which expires in March 2024. The goal is to make ongoing improvements to keep Ashington's streets clean, address littering and fly tipping, and enhance the town's appearance. Key discussion points include: 🤝 Adjusting street sweeping and cleansing schedules to better meet needs and free up resources for other beautification tasks like weed control and hedge trimming. 🤝 Finding ways to reduce waste and fly tipping so that funds can support proactive cleaning and greening efforts. Over 1,000 fly tipping incidents needed clean-up in Ashington from April to September. 🤝 Promoting civic pride and collaborating to make Ashington an attractive, welcoming town. Residents can report fly tipping via the NCC Fix My Street app and get involved in community litter picks. 🤝Exploring options to improve grass cutting and grounds maintenance to enhance the look of public spaces, aligned with upcoming biodiversity and service standard changes across Northumberland. The focus is to ensure resources go towards activities that will visibly improve Ashington's environment. Continued partnership between the councils and community participation are key to taking proactive steps. Ideas for further improvements are welcomed as the agreement is reviewed. #Ashington #Northumberland #Partnership #Collaboration #Environment #Litter #WasteManagement https://lnkd.in/eJ8JGc33

🌱In #Cambodia, the O Taneung community has secured legal recognition of their forest and restored an area threatened by illegal logging into a thriving ecosystem. 🌳A community credit scheme enables members to sustainably manage their forest. Other initiatives, like deadwood harvesting, support these efforts. Furthermore, support from local authorities has enabled community members to reduce illegal logging and land grabbing substantially, demonstrating the impact of secure tenure rights on both livelihoods and conservation. 👉🏽https://lnkd.in/gUtfFpp3 #UNited4Land #DesertificationandDroughtDay

In 2015, the Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group, The Nature Conservancy (Australia) and Kilter Rural, launched the Murray-Darling Basin Balanced Water Fund, the first investment vehicle in Australia to provide investors with the opportunity to achieve multiple objectives of securing water for agriculture, realising a financial return and restoring threatened wetlands. Below on the Riverspace site, you can see the wetlands and projects supported by donations of water we are managing in collaboration with many community and government organisations. The estimated 30,000 wetlands within the Murray-Darling Basin are highly diverse, ranging from vast floodplains, billabongs, and swamps to smaller wetlands and streams. The wetlands are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including several threatened and endangered species. Please take a moment to consider making a donation that will go towards restoration and protection of our wetlands. https://riverspace.au/

My telephone is already ringing about this article, which I have not had an opportunity to fully absorb. It appears the article is conflating purposes for conservation easements (public conservation programs vs. regulatory easements) and ancillary issues such as land use (zoning). However, supporters of Florida's popular conservation programs, Florida Forever and Rural and Family Lands Protection Program, need to understand the conservation easements used by those programs only permit extinguishment of a conservation easement "by judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction" if "unexpected circumstances arise in the future" that render the conservation purposes of the conservation easement impossible, impractical or unfeasible to accomplish. This is the standard for charitable contributions associated with conservation easements established by the Internal Revenue Service, which is very focused on ensuring the perpetuity of the conservation restrictions. #florida #conservation #conservationeasements #floridalawyer
