The Center for Natural Lands Management is known for superior stewardship of natural lands and rare species. This expertise is also a focus for the South Sound Program, building on a 19 year track record of successfully restoring South Sound habitats as part of The Nature Conservancy. The South Sound Program focuses much of its effort on the rarest habitats of the area – prairies, oak woodlands and the freshwater systems of the Black River. The major projects of the South Sound Program are:
- Assisting Joint Base Lewis-McChord with restoration and conservation of their lands.
- Restoration of prairies and oak woodlands throughout the South Sound region, assisting public agencies, non-profit organizations and private landowners with pest plant control, native habitat enhancements and prescribed fire.
- Promoting conservation of prairies and oak woodlands throughout the Northwest, via The Cascadia Prairie Oak Partnership.
- Producing native plants and seed for use in restoration of prairies and oak woodlands, including partnering with the Sustainable Prisons Project to reduce costs and improve inmates' well-being.
- Conserving the Black River and surrounding natural lands.
- Conducting, and facilitating cutting-edge science that helps the effectiveness and efficiency of conservation actions.
