| BC Nature Conservation Network | |
| From the Conservation Committee
The BC Nature Conservation Committee supports conservation initiatives by clubs in their jurisdictions, but also wishes to use the collective voice of BC Nature to address conservation issues that warrant action on a provincial scale. From time to time, we wish to draw upon the expertise of BC Nature members, as our committee members have set some priorities and can’t cover all fields. If you have a burning environmental issue relevant to our members interests, that you would like to actively pursue, please contact the Conservation Committee. We can review your letter to government and pass it through the Conservation Committee and the Executive, and send it along under our President’s signature. Thanks for your interest. For BC Nature members who wish to keep abreast of current activities of the BCN Conservation Committee, send us your email address and we will send you regular updates, approximately quarterly. |
