What Your Donation Supports
When you donate, you play a direct role in our critical, on-the-ground conservation and effective advocacy work. Here are just a few examples of the kind of important wins your support makes possible:
-
Planting Trees to Tackle Climate Change
In West Virginia alone, we’re planting more than 400,000 native trees that help capture carbon. It’s part of our larger goal here to protect at least 100,000 acres of Appalachian forests—twice the size of Acadia National Park—in the next few years.
-
Conserving Wildlife
We expanded our 20 years of bison conservation, spanning 12 TNC preserves across North America, into a new bison program at Great Sand Dunes National Park through a partnership with the National Park Service.
-
Restoring Reefs
We’re partnering with shellfish growers hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic to buy their oysters and rebuild imperiled shellfish reefs. 5 million oysters will help rebuild reefs at 20 restoration sites in New England, the Mid-Atlantic and Washington.
