We are saddened to announce the passing of Thomas F. Breden on July 1, 2003. Family and friends of Tom have created a fund at NatureServe to honor his memory and his dedication to protecting the natural world. Tom was a part of the NatureServe family for nearly 20 years. He began in 1984 as an ecologist for the New Jersey Natural Heritage Program (a member of the NatureServe Network), rising to the position of Administrator of the Office of Natural Lands Management. Tom was a founding member of NatureServe's board of directors, and served as board chairman. Tom guided the efforts of NatureServe and the network with a firm belief in the importance of our mission. He worked selflessly to advance the network as a whole, fostering communication and cooperation among his colleagues. Tom led NatureServe as it became an independent organization, and challenged us to focus on the long-term success of our work. The Tom Breden Legacy Fund has been created as part of NatureServe's endowment and will support his efforts to create a vibrant, influential network of natural heritage programs and conservation data centers. These programs play a key role in state and national efforts to raise awareness, share knowledge, and influence society for the protection of the environment and our endangered natural resources. Contributions to the Tom Breden Legacy Fund will be matched by The Nature Conservancy. The Fund will continue in perpetuity, with proceeds supporting network coordination activities and ensuring the sustainability of the programs about which Tom cared so deeply. To make a donation by credit card, please use the online donation link (above right) or call us at 703-908-1841. For online donations, please note "Legacy Fund" in the gift information line.
