One of the main nongovernmental organizations involved with the acquisition of private property for wetland restoration is The Nature Conservancy. This organization has an annual budget of $7.7 million, which allows them to wield heavy influence over small communities. Most of the problem is the direction of The Conservancy or the lack of direction in their leadership. There are limitless amounts of free-market agrarian projects in need of funding, which would benefit nature, without taking property off the tax rolls.
The people of Coos County know the bast ways to take care of our environment, so we have to be the ones to explain this to The Nature Conservancy and tell them how they can help our community with their resources. Please call the Conservancy's leadership team here in Oregon and let them know that we will not tolerate federal land grabs, but we will work with The Conservancy on our conditions, with our own terms.
