Conservation Committee 
 

"The Conservation Committee seeks to work collaboratively with governmental agencies and private interests to advocate the protection of native plants and their habitats.  Our projects promote education, conservation and building consensus.  We work to educate our members and the public about issues important to preserving native plants and strategies that are successful in maintaining the quality of their habitat.  We promote a science-based, sustainable approach to the use of our natural resources."

Committee Meetings

MEETINGS:  We normally meet the second Tuesday of each month at  6:30pm. 
These meetings are open to all interested members of the Kinnikinnick chapter.  Call Molly at 255-7336. Or, email:
