Nevada Conservation League

Do you think decision makers should work to create healthier more vibrant communities by fighting climate change, supporting clean air and water, protecting access to our public lands and parks, and policies that ensure our communities grow sustainably and work for everyone that works and visits? Then join the Nevada Conservation League and help build the movement that will ensure leaders at the local, state, and federal levels will act on the conservation issues important to our communities.

NCL is the political voice of Nevada’s conservation community. We advocate for sound conservation policies, organize and train conservation leaders and advocates, work to increase civic engagement, educate and endorses candidates for public office, and hold elected officials and decision makers accountable on the conservation and environmental issues we work on; climate, clean air, clean water, protecting our public lands and open spaces, and public health and livability. We strive to work in a way that recognizes and builds a deeper understanding racial justice that achieves more just outcomes and builds a more inclusive organization.
