Conservation Committee Purpose Statement
"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."
