Mobile-Tensaw Delta Landscape Conservation Area

The Nature Conservancy has been working with partners for over a decade to protect this area for the benefit of the 67 rare, imperiled, threatened or endangered species that make their home in the lands and waters of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta; animals like the black bear, American alligator and Alabama red-bellied turtle.

In a monumental partnership, The Nature Conservancy contributed $1 million to the purchase of 47,000 acres by the State of Alabama Forever Wild Program. In addition to assisting with this purchase, the Alabama Chapter wrote a $940,000 National Coastal Wetlands grant specifically for land acquisition in the Delta. Our partners in conservation, Ducks Unlimited, generously provided matching funds in the amount of $250,000.
