Environmental organizations across the Southeast U.S. are participating in a new NetCorps project that will help selected groups develop overall technology plans, identify priorities within their plans, and provide assistance in securing and installing the hardware and software associated with their top priorities.

The ten organizations selected are:

• Alabama Rivers Alliance, Birmingham AL
• Catawba Lands Conservancy, Charlotte NC
• Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Baton Rouge LA
• Georgia Center for Law in the Public Interest, Atlanta GA
• Louisiana Environmental Action Network, Baton Rouge LA
• North Carolina Coastal Land Trust, Wilmington NC
• Southern Appalachian Biodiversity Project, Asheville NC
• South Carolina Wildlife Federation, Columbia SC
• Tennessee River Gorge Trust, Chattanooga TN
• Wild South, Moulton AL

NetCorps will help participating groups develop overall technology plans, identify priorities within their plans, and provide assistance and funding towards securing and installing the hardware and software associated with their top priorities.

In addition to these ten organizations, netCorps will be selecting ten new groups to participate in this work in 2007. Applications for the 2007 cycle will be available soon--click here to be notified when they are available. NetCorps began this effort with Southeast environmental groups in 2005 and offered a variety of assistance to ten organizations in our first year.
