South Sound Program Transition Complete

The Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM) officially took over the South Puget Sound Program of The Nature Conservancy on July 1, 2011. CNLM has a 20 year history of conservation, and will continue the South Sound program’s focus on conserving prairies, oak woodlands and freshwaters in the South Sound. The change has been seamless, with the staff and programs of the South Sound program continuing as before.

Pat Dunn, the head of CNLM's Washington Program, said, "We have a new name, but it's still the same faces here at our South Sound office. We're thrilled to have the collective expertise and experience of CNLM behind our program, and we look forward to reaching even greater heights in prairie conservation from here."
