With a special session looming on the horizon, there's a lot at stake for Colorado kids and families. Initiatives 50 and 108 pose catastrophic risks to the state and local budgets that support schools and many other vital programs in our communities. We took a look at which programs would be at risk if these initiatives pass. Read more about the risks in our latest brief: https://lnkd.in/gwfgCzpy

Did you know there are 60 local NWTF chapters, in Tennessee? 61 if you include the state chapter, according to NWTF.org. There are 95 counties in Tennessee. What's that mean? There are opportunities to grow conservation efforts statewide! How? By getting involved and creating a new chapter in areas that don't have one. We have some awesome Regional Directors working in Tennessee that can help! The link is to the Chapter Guide manual and has solid information on how to get started. https://lnkd.in/d_sGbv4M

Baltimore’s claim-to-fame may be that it was the birthplace of America’s National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” but it's determined, down-to-earth spirit makes it a truly American city. With a dynamic Inner Harbor – the best view of which is from atop Federal Hill – that was as busy in the 18th Century as it is today. However, there are few things more quintessentially Baltimore than Maryland blue crabs. (The name comes from the color of their claws, but once cooked they turn a red-orange.) And while they can be found in the waters along the entire East Coast, Marylanders have perfected the art of eating them. In fact, more than a third of the country’s blue crab comes from the Chesapeake Bay! Baltimore has an exceptionally proud reputation for it's seafood and the Maryland blue crab served in many ways, leads the way!
