About Conservation

For our purposes we can think of conservation as managing natural resources for the continuing benefit of all.

Send a Conservation Message To Your Elected Representative(s)

Your elected representatives need to be kept informed about conservation issues that are important to us.  The AMC Club’s “Take Action” pages have made this process relatively easy to select a current conservation item and send a message.

The NH-Chapter Take Action – Contact Elected Representatives page provides some information about composing your message for maximum effect, some descriptive material regarding each of the Club’s current conservation items, links to some ancillary information, and a direct link to the Club message page.  You may find this helpful before personalizing the Club message for stronger impact.
