It’s been a busy year for The Conservation Alliance! We just wrapped up our most successful Backyard Collective event series since its inception in 2008. Spirits were high, and everyone left the events with an immense feeling of accomplishment. It’s always great to see the amazing work of our grantees, and convening our member companies leads to an amazing sense of camaraderie and celebration of the collective impact we are able to have as part of The Conservation Alliance.
Backyard Collectives bring together member company employees and local grantees for a day of environmental action. These events allow us to get out of the office and get our hands dirty; doing good work to preserve and protect the open spaces in our own backyards. Projects include trail work, invasive species removal, and other creative projects that make a difference in local communities and ecosystems. The BYC program brings together members of the Conservation Alliance community and illustrates firsthand the benefits of conservation efforts and the larger work of The Conservation Alliance.
The Conservation Alliance organized seven Backyard Collectives in 2014, bringing together over 1,000 member company employees, 39 member companies and 36 nonprofits,
A Record 1,089 Volunteers in 2014
