The Conservation Leaders Network is the only organization in the nation that focuses on identifying, recruiting, educating and motivating pro-conservation county commissioners to protect our nation's natural resources. Formed in 1996 to work with Oregon's conservation-minded county commissioners, in 1998 the organization expanded its geographic scope to work nationally. Our Executive Director served as a county commissioner in the early 90's in rural Oregon. Her experience as an isolated pro-environment county commissioner in a timber county led to the creation of the Conservation Leaders Network. Our Board of Directors includes county commissioners, former county officials and experienced environmental leaders. They hail from Florida to Hawaii and from Montana to Washington DC and points in between.
