County Commissioners Protecting America's Natural Resources
WHAT WE DO
Pro-environment county officials are key to engaging the public and decision-makers on natural resource issues and the Conservation Leaders Network is key to making it happen.
“The story of the environmental movement over the next quarter century
is about building relationships with the outermost circle of sympathetic
citizens.
It is about engaging the “environmental majority” and
building the
deep societal commitment to sustainability that will
protect our world for generations to come."
Gideon Rosenblatt, “Movement
as Network”

The Conservation Leaders
Network “The Conservation Leaders Network provided additional outreach capacity at a critical time for the campaign to protect Idaho's Boulder-White Clouds, the largest unprotected national forest roadless area outside of Alaska, by engaging their network of county leaders to bring an effective new voice to the wilderness debate.” Jen Schmidt, Campaign for America’s Wilderness The Conservation Leaders Network at National Association of Counties' (NACo) Annual Conference in Reno
He also said that he thought "[t]he high point of the conference was the public “launch” of Local Officials for Clean Water. Commissioner Carol Fordonski (Queen Anne’s County, Maryland), Commissioner Chuck McGrady (Henderson County, North Carolina), Supervisor Susan Adams (Marin County, California) and I all presented reasons why Congress needs to restore the clean water protections of the 1972 Clean Water Act, following recent Supreme Court decisions undermining the law."

Pete Sorenson recently wrote of that event, "I can tell you
it was a disaster for the environment. Resolutions against
reasonable climate change legislation and a platform change
in opposition to clean water were both passed. We were
really out-organized by conservative political forces who
stacked the deck at the Reno conference, both on the
traditionally extraction-oriented Public Lands Steering
Committee, but also on the more-balanced Environment, Energy
and Land Use Committee."
