Community Foundation of Greater Plymouth County Announces Grant to The Nature Conservancy

$3,600 Grant for Land Stewardship

Des Moines, Iowa | December 06, 2010

The Nature Conservancy announced today it received a $3,600 grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Plymouth County. The funds will be used to purchase chain saws, brush cutters and other tools, said Jan Glendening, assistant state director of the Iowa Chapter.

“The equipment will be an important part of our continuing land stewardship efforts at our Broken Kettle Grassland Preserve in Plymouth County,” said Glendening. “These tools will greatly help our crews to return the prairie to its native state. We’re very grateful that the foundation recognizes the vital work we’re doing at Broken Kettle.”

The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. The Conservancy and its more than 1 million members have protected nearly 120 million acres worldwide. Visit The Nature Conservancy on the Web at www.nature.org.
