Jackson, White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, and the nonprofit National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) will join officials from Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. in Baltimore, MD on Monday, December 12 to announce funding from Toyota for capacity-building grants for community-based organizations supporting parks and other public lands.
