The Oak Log / Autumn 2007

What is the Corporate Conservation Council of Vermont?
Many Vermont businesses are lending their names to groups that support sustainability and environmental awareness, letting their consumers know they care. The Nature Conservancy recently developed the Corporate Conservation Council of Vermont (CCCV) as a way to give businesses the opportunity to have a real impact on the ground by contributing to conservation projects right here at home, or around the world. The Council offers businesses the opportunity to partner with a conservation organization that has the recognition and credibility of a global organization combined with close connections to local communities and a proven legacy of protecting Vermont’s natural heritage.

What sort of conservation projects are businesses supporting through the Council?
The twelve businesses currently participating in the Council are supporting conservation work like the Conservancy’s global climate change initiative, local land conservation projects like our recent protection of Morristown Bog, and other top conservation priorities such as freshwater.

Businesses can also become a part of the Council by participating in the Conservancy’s Wise on Weeds! program, which seeks to educate the public about invasive species and remove them from gardens and landscaped areas before they can spread into natural habitats and crowd out native species.
