Former Governor Phil Bredesen on The Nature Conservancy

In October 2010, then-Governor Phil Bredesen addressed a gathering of Nature Conservancy supporters and said, "I am a huge, huge admirer of The Nature Conservancy. So much of what we have to do to preserve land requires navigating a lot of different interests and navigating some political waters to get things done. . . . The Nature Conservancy, more than any other organization I can think of, has really figured out how to do that."
