The ten organizations selected are:

  • Dan River Basin Association, Eden NC
  • Dogwood Alliance, Asheville NC
  • Eno River Association, Durham NC
  • Georgia Forestwatch, Ellijay GA
  • Gulf Restoration Network, New Orleans LA
  • Little River Watershed Association, Maryville TN
  • Mobile Baykeeper, Mobile AL
  • Ogeechee-Canoochee Riverkeeper, Statesboro GA
  • Tar River Land Conservancy, Louisburg, NC
  • Upstate Forever, Greenville SC

In all, thirty groups have been selected through a competitive application process to receive technology planning, implementation and support assistance through project, funding primarily by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. netCorps began this effort with Southeast environmental groups in 2005-06 and offered a variety of assistance to ten organizations in our first year. The ten groups from the 2006-2007 project year also received a variety of help, with an increased emphasis on use of database and web technologies.
