Our activities are predicated on the belief that:
the natural environment is inherently valuable
a well-informed public will enjoy & respect our natural heritage
working in partnership with public & private institutions is the best way to achieve our goals
local government should take a leadership role in land-use planning, solid waste management & in enacting & enforcing conservation & land-use laws
regional & long-term perspectives should be considered when judging the possible effects of any alterations in the natural environment.
