SUPPORT THE ALLIANCE
By Lynnsey Basala, The Longleaf Alliance
2020 Conservation Partners Show Unwavering Support AMIDST Global Pandemic Yes, these are unprecedented times we’re living. We are stretched and challenged in every capacity, moving with the ebbs and flows of life. But we are doing it. We are making it one moment, day, week, and month at a time. Despite the hardships and disturbances to routine, friendship and goodness prevail. Mr. Fred Rogers, in all his wisdom, once said, “When I was a boy, and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” We want to thank the following conservation partners who have helped by recommitting
support. Instead of pulling back resources and monetary support, many have made contact to see if there is more they can do amidst the global pandemic. We are grateful for your unwavering commitment to the dedicated staff of The Longleaf Alliance. The following conservation partners confirmed or renewed support before May 15. There will undoubtedly be more nonprofits, agencies, corporations, and nurseries that will contribute, and we look forward to providing an updated roster in the Fall issue. For partnership opportunities and incentives, please contact Lynnsey@longleafalliance.org.
