Aurora Hosts Media Tour of Apalachicola River Basin Project

Aurora’s recent media tour of our Florida property was a powerful demonstration of how innovative conservation strategies are shaping a more resilient Southeast. Set against the backdrop of the Apalachicola River Basin, the tour highlighted how forest conservation—supported by carbon offset initiatives—is playing a critical role in protecting Florida’s landscapes and communities from the growing threat of hurricanes.

Visitors explored how Aurora is restoring fragmented ecosystems across the southern U.S., using tools to safeguard endangered species, revitalize watersheds, and rebuild the health of forestlands long impacted by development. The tour also offered a behind-the-scenes look at how Aurora measures carbon storage and implements carbon projects that not only reduce emissions but also generate long-term ecological and economic benefits.
