Conservation Committee

The purpose of the Conservation Committee is to keep the GCC membership well informed on current conservation issues; to promote respect for natural resources and responsibility for environmental stewardship; to encourage members to identify and carry out conservation work locally; to provide environmental education programs for youth and the general public; and with GCC leadership's approval, to work with other conservation agencies and organizations whose programs complement those of The Garden Club of Cleveland. 
Some past speakers in the area of conservation have been:

David Beach, Green City, Blue Lake - Thinking Bioregionally in Northeast Ohio

Sandra Alborough, Holden Forests & Gardens - Vacant to Vibrant, Urban Vacant Lots as Neighborhood Assets

Rich Cochran, Western Reserve Land Conservancy - Hydraulic Fracturing and our Water Supply, Policy, Politics and Possibilities
