I joined Idaho Conservation League as a college student in the 70s, as environmental concerns gained greater public awareness. Over the past decades I have seen Idaho Conservation League grow into a full-fledged professional yet personally inspiring grown-up organization. There is a team of dedicated and smart staff who are knowledgeable about every aspect of environmental issues in Idaho. I particularly like their work advocating for the protection of public lands, because Idaho's quality of life depends on it. They also work on water and air quality, resource extraction issues, growth and urban planning, wildlife and fish, energy and just about anything else that is related to conservation of our environment. I feel like every contribution I make will be well-spent.
