TogetherGreen, whose mission is to “fund and promote conservation leadership training and volunteer programs designed to equip and engage diverse groups and individuals to take action today to shape a healthier tomorrow” has awarded a $15,700 grant to Mendocino Coast Audubon Society, College of the Redwoods and California State Parks to help save Fort Bragg’s shorebirds. One of 41 newly-announced TogetherGreen national Innovation Grants will mobilize volunteers to work toward a five percent increase in the populations of MacKerricher State Park’s Watchlisted bird species—including the American Golden-Plover, Black Turnstone, and Red Knot, among others. Not only that, the Save Our Shorebirds project will begin a dialogue about shorebird conservation, launching plans and action to strength the birds’ prospects for survival using engagement of the remote Northern California coastal community. A real feather in our caps.
