Description

The Center for Natural Lands Management (www.cnlm.org) is known for superior stewardship of natural lands and rare species. This expertise is also a focus for the South Sound Prairies Program, building on a 20-year track record of successfully restoring South Sound habitats as part of The Nature Conservancy. The South Sound Prairies Program continues to focus much of its effort on the rarest habitats of the area - prairies, oak woodlands and the freshwater systems of the Black River. The major projects of the South Sound Program include:

• Assisting Joint Base Lewis McChord with restoration and conservation of their lands;
• Restoring prairies and oak woodlands throughout the South Sound region;
• Assisting public agencies, non-profit organizations and private landowners with pest plant; control, native habitat enhancements and prescribed fire; and
• Promoting conservation of prairies and oak woodlands throughout the NW
