Did you know? 💡 The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley is the nation’s largest floodplain, boasting rich biodiversity, productive agricultural lands, and many outdoor recreational opportunities. But land use changes and extreme weather have degraded habitats and wildlife populations. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this critical ecosystem. That’s why we’re excited to undertake this crucial work of restoring the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley with dedicated partners, including USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), International Paper’s Forestland Stewards Partnership and the Walton Family Foundation. Together, we’re looking forward to conserving vulnerable lands and preserving species across the landscape. 📷: Louisiana black bear cub #conservation #environment #grants #mississippi #wildlife #blackbear
