Saving What We Share

Friend of Wildlife,

We enter the spring in an ever changing environmental and conservation playing field. These changes in policy and regulation have left many advocates concerned about what progress remains possible.

In the face of these obstacles, the National Wildlife Federation’s coastal resilience growth fund is moving forward with active projects to restore and protect shorelines across the country. We are excited to continue sharing successes and updates from our team each quarter, and are grateful to do this work alongside you.

In this issue, we are thrilled to;

introduce NWF’s newest addition to the coastal resilience team, Kate, who is hitting the ground running with a project at the Minary’s Dream Alliance,
hear from NWF member, Steve King, about his experience joining NWF on a trip to the Great Marsh in Massachusetts,
share more about a recent visit to the Great Marsh with NWF naturalists and other experts,
release an informational two pager on NWF’s ongoing coastal resilience project in Havre de Grace, MD which recently broke ground on construction.

We are proud to do this work alongside you and appreciate your continued support.
