We also updated and broadened the organization’s mission, positioning it better to tackle today’s biggest environmental challenges and respond to a widespread misunderstanding about what is, and is not, genuinely conservative. Our new mission statement is:
To safeguard the air, water, land, wildlife and natural systems that sustain and enhance life on earth by promoting responsible stewardship and conservation, empowering fellow conservatives, and advancing the original conservative philosophy that compels us to be good stewards of our natural heritage
Whether it is through fiscal stewardship or environmental stewardship, real conservatism is about taking the long view, prudently solving problems, and looking out for the interests of future generations. The fact that some have lost sight of this does not make it any less true.
That genuine conservatism instructs us to safeguard the air we breathe, the water we drink and the special places that refresh and inspire us. It strengthens our society by encouraging balance between freedom and responsibility. It strengthens our nation by promoting sustainable economic growth and helping ensure that we do not squander our natural wealth.
Please join with us as we work to put the “conserve” back in conservative.

President
