A heartfelt thank you to Coalition members and volunteers who met with legislators to passionately advocate for open space funding.
Public safety is our first priority. All controlled burns are conducted by highly trained fire crews during optimal weather conditions.

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.
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.
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. https://t.co/7igZ7gA4u1

Thanks to @SenCarper securing the Delaware Bayshore $31.9 million in federal coastal restoration and storm protection funding, more than three times what was expected. It would not have been possible without his fierce advocating for the DE. Learn more: https://t.co/gxb52ge7QZ

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: https://t.co/plQQQsralP
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.
Offshore wind can build a cleaner, greener future for Delaware. Today an offshore wind bill, Senate Bill 265, is in committee.
