The agency's penalty will cost the city $137,345. But the city only has to pay the government $34,345 if it gives the rest of the fine to the Nature Conservancy for the purchase of land to expand the Chattahoochee National Forest. So the Nature Conservancy is finally outed as the land launderer for the Feds. How can the NatCon expand National Forest land? Interesting how the NatCon can extort money without even trying. What is there tax status?
Tax status is Non-Profit (10th largest) 501c3 exempt status.
