Organization: Alberta Wildlife Fund Contact: Jasmine Ying (jasmine.ying@awf.co.cc) Date: 12/07/2010 Title: Good News for Burmester Grasslands Restoration Project The Burmester Grasslands Restoration Project received a major boost today with the announcement of a major new sponsorship deal. Neon Mountain will provide over $5oo,ooo to the project over the next two years. The money contributed by Alberta's largest clothing manufacturer will be used to restore and maintain this wonderful natural feature. The funds provided by this corporate sponsorship deal will allow the Alberta Wildlife Fund to continue on with plans to replant native grass seeds along the Burmester Plain near Halifax. The native flora and fauna in this area have previously been affected by industrial activity in the area, especially mining. The goal of the Burmester Grasslands Restoration Project is to encourage regeneration of native plants in the area. It is hoped that this, in turn, will attract the insects and birds that once flourished there. Neon Mountain chief executive Pero Martinez is excited about having the opportunity to support the environment. In a statement made earlier today, he said: "Neon Mountain is a brand that the community associates with Canada's great outdoors. But our great outdoors is actually under threat. We see this as an opportunity to help restore the natural environment so that future generations can continue to enjoy it. That's why we have committed substantial funding to this vital project./
