The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, in partnership with the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation and Perdue Farms, announces a new initiative to support conservation practice implementation on poultry farms throughout Pennsylvania. This work is funded by a $1 million Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction grant awarded to the alliance from NFWF. Perdue has also committed $300,000 to the initiative.
“At Perdue, our responsibility as good environmental stewards includes partnering with various stakeholders to preserve and protect our natural resources,” said Drew Getty, vice president of environmental sustainability at Perdue Farms. “This partnership with the Alliance, the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, and our farm partners, who are some of the best stewards of the environment, is a great example of collaboration to enhance the quality of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.”
