Mississippi

The Fund's work to protect Civil War battlefield sites in Mississippi highlights its dedication to preserving the state's cultural heritage. With more than 8,000 acres protected in Misssissippi since 1985, the Fund and its partners are upholding both the natural and the historic legacy of the state for generations to come.

 

Wolf River Marsh

The lush wetlands and dense forests of the Wolf River corridor give way to sawgrass marshes that serve as feeding and resting habitat for brown pelicans, ospreys and cormorants. Here, The Conservation Fund worked with the state of Mississippi and the Wolf River Conservation Society to acquire 1,000 acres, including three miles of river frontage. Lands within this preserve act as natural buffers and help control flooding along the St. Luis Bay and Gulf of Mexico.
