Mississippi

Introduction

Mississippi’s landscape is a mix of rolling hills, fertile plains and winding rivers. The Delta region along the Mississippi River is a critical ground for rich soil and agricultural abundance. At The Conservation Fund, we focus on conserving high-priority land, cultural sites and forests to meet our mission of maintaining a flourishing regional environment and economy.
