Saving What We Share

Friend of Wildlife,

The National Wildlife Federation’s coastal resilience program is gearing up for a busy summer, filled with project completions, volunteer opportunities, and new communities to partner with on our coastal resilience and restoration efforts.

The Coastal Courant will continue to be your behind the scenes look into the successes, challenges, and updates from our team each quarter.

In this issue, we will share;

1. a spotlight from The Tepper Foundation on the National Wildlife Federation’s Coastal Resilience Growth Fund and our efforts to use innovative, nature based solutions to address the effects of climate change,

2. an update from the soon-to-be completed innovative living shoreline project in Havre de Grace, MD,

3. the success of NWF’s Resilient Schools and Communities (RiSC) program in New York City, teaching the importance of coastal resilience and restoration to local students through hands on experience,

4. and NWF in the news for our native plant volunteer opportunity in Havre de Grace, MD which planted over 4,000 native plants in one day.

As a special bonus, we are thrilled to begin a quarterly supporter spotlight. Our first spotlight is on longtime NWF member, Charles Deknatel and his relationship with NWF’s coastal resiliency efforts.

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