In addition, we have created a summary of our efforts to date on the Business Stewardship Initiative below. The Business Stewardship Workgroup, composed of members of the business and conservation communities, recently conducted it first meeting in May and is in the process of creating a “volunteer network” that will bring together the business and conservation groups for on-the-ground-restoration projects. Please email business.stewardship@thecmrc.org to find out more.
