Conservation
              Preserving the Places Where We Live

CGCI members are active in efforts to preserve our natural resources and the natural beauty of our state. Extending far beyond our own backyards, CGCI's conservation efforts include much, much more than recycling and composting. Knowing that our land, flora, fauna and our way of life are all threatened by the misuse and abuse, CGCI members continually make efforts to study relevant issues and take appropriate actions before it is too late.
