About CLF

Conservation Law Foundation (CLF)

protects New England’s environment for the benefit of all people. A non-profit,

member-supported organization, CLF uses the law, science, and the market to

solve the region’s most challenging environmental problems, from climate change

to ocean conservation to transportation. Every day, CLF advocates stand up for

New Englanders—in statehouses, courthouses, boardrooms, regulatory hearings,

and community gatherings—to forge innovative paths to environmental progress

and economic prosperity for all in our region. To that end, CLF frequently

works with communities of color, and those that are economically or otherwise

disadvantaged, which often suffer disproportionately from the impacts of

environmental degradation.

CLF is committed to diversity among our staff, volunteers,

boards, and membership and creating a positive, inclusive workplace culture

where all can thrive.
