Growing Roots: NFC in 2001

In 2001, the seeds we planted in 2000 began to take root. Literally. As we go to press, we're planting new trees in our backyard! After renting our office for more than a decade, the Council board of directors approved its purchase through the Helen Johnson Fund. Like a family moving into a first home, moving from renter to owner has allowed us to make many changes we couldn't make before and has added to the stability of our home office, both emotionally and financially. Like most nonprofits (and most Americans), we've had an unusually difficult year. September 11 brought sadness, confusion and anger. It also brought new dimensions to U.S. politics, new ideas about what it means to be an American and new challenges for nonprofit organizations. As we begin the second quarter of 2002, let's hope that the resurgence in patriotism will be matched by pride in our publicly owned lands and a steadfast commitment to a democracy that invites many different opinions and encourages dissent. Our natural assets depend on it.
