Public safety is our first priority. All controlled burns are conducted by highly trained fire crews during optimal weather conditions. More information: nature.org/.../stor.../fi…

Prescribed fire plays a critical role in the health of Delaware’s ecosystems and the well-being of nearby communities by encouraging growth of native vegetation, increasing biodiversity, minimizing the spread of invasive species, and recycling nutrients back into the soil.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2025: The Nature Conservancy will be conducting prescribed burn operations at the Edward H. McCabe Preserve near the town of Milton today. Local residents and businesses are advised that smoke may be visible. The McCabe Preserve will be closed to the public.

Today, TNC attended the state senate confirmation hearing for @DelawareDNREC cabinet nominee Greg Patterson. We look forward to collaborating with the new leadership to protect Delaware’s environment. 🌿 #Delaware #Environment

Delaware's General Assembly is back in session! 🌿 TNC's top priority: protecting freshwater wetlands. These natural heroes reduce flood risks, provide vital wildlife habitats, and help fight climate change by sequestering carbon. Let's safeguard nature's champions!

Thank you to Delaware's own Senator @ChrisCoons for his fierce commitment to conservation and recognition that a healthy environment is key to global security. The U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act would not have happened without you. nature.ly/403gcGb

As Senator @ChrisCoons mentioned today at the @USGLC #MidAtlanticSummit24: "A hungry world is an unstable world, and climate is making it worse." Environmentally friendly regenerative agriculture can help and TNC is invested in being part of that solution: nature.org/en-us/what-we-…

A big theme from the @USGLC #MidAtlanticSummit24 today: Solving the climate crisis and expanding clean energy in DE and across the globe requires all of us--gov't, the private sector and nonprofits. We can work together to build a better future.

TNC caught up with Senator @ChrisCoons and Representative @LisaBRochester at today’s @USGLC #MidAtlanticSummit24! Conservation is both global and local, and we’re thankful for their inspiring leadership for Delaware. Cc: @nature_wonks
