Equestrian Land Conservation Resource Joins 1% for the Planet
Equestrian News Release
The Equestrian Land Conservation Resource (ELCR) has joined 1% Percent For The Planet in its efforts to raise awareness, provide useful information and attract funding to help conserve land and preserve trail access for horse-related activity. ELCR recognizes that, regardless of breed, or discipline the U.S. land development rate of 250 acres per hour, jeopardizes the future of equestrian recreation, sport and lifestyle. ELCR educates horsemen across the country about this crisis and provides information and access to the tools for land conservation and stewardship.
1% For the Planet brings together corporations and environmental organizations that are committed to make a positive change for the environment. 1% For the Planet is a growing global movement of nearly 800 companies that donate 1% of their sales to a network of more than 1,500 environmental conservation organizations worldwide.
ELCR was encouraged to join 1% Percent for the Plant by Kerri Kent, founder of Kerrits, Inc. and founder/designer of g.r.a.s.s., a new collection of equestrian apparel that is dedicated to making the planet a healthier place. Launched in January 2008, g.r.a.s.s. is committed to designing and producing a line of riding clothing which strikes the perfect balance between performance, style and sustainability. Says Kent, “I am committed to sustainability and conserving land for future generations of horses and riders. The choices we make today have lasting implications for tomorrow. Our thanks to ELCR for raising awareness amongst the equestrians across the country.”
