EASTON — Toyota and the National Audubon Society recently announced that a $27,939 Toyota TogetherGreen Innovation Grant will be awarded to an Eastern-Shore based project to connect residents and managers of two local low-income apartment complexes to bird friendly habitat.
Toyota TogetherGreen, a national conservation program of the National Audubon Society and Toyota, invests in conservation initiatives that use innovative approaches and technologies to engage new and diverse audiences in addressing pressing environmental problems.
With its Toyota TogetherGreen Innovation Grant, Pickering Creek Audubon Center will work with residents and management of Magnolia Meadows in Easton and Cambridge Club in Cambridge to explore nature in their neighborhoods and work together to create bird friendly habitat at those places. Project officials also will work with the apartment complex management company, Fairville Management, to encourage habitat practices at its 30 other properties in the region.
“Organizations that won Toyota TogetherGreen Innovation Grants this year have ingenuity and creativity on full display. And that’s what it takes to tackle the environmental challenges we face today,” said Audubon President and CEO David Yarnold. “I’m proud to partner with these innovators in creative approaches to achieve healthier communities and big conservation results.”
