Nature Consortium Wins Sustainability Leadership Award
We won!
On January 23, Nature Consortium was awarded the Sustainability Leadership Award in the “Transforming Spaces” category in a three-way tie. The Highland Park Improvement Club and the Duwamish River Coalition were also honored with the award.
“The judges felt strongly about highlighting the projects going on in South Seattle,” said Terri Butler, executive director of Sustainable Seattle, who hosted the award ceremony at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI). Merica Whitehall, Nature Consortium’s new executive director, was there to receive the award.
Nature Consortium is committed to serving Southwest Seattle and the Duwamish region. We recognize the need in our community for more creative leaders and a more sustainable way of living.
Not only are we transforming the West Duwamish Greenbelt into a sustainable ecosystem, but by connecting people, arts and nature – by bringing creativity in to the environmental realm, we’re also transforming the ways in which people in our community connect to the place we live. When we connect art and nature in unexpected ways, we inspire people to reimagine what art is, where it belongs, and how all of us can channel our creativity to improve our communities.
We extend our thanks to Sustainable Seattle for honoring us with this award!
