Who We Are:

The Kentucky Conservation Committee (KCC) is a coalition of individuals and organizations working for a healthy environment and strong protections of Kentucky's natural resources and places. We find resolute support from Kentucky 's voters for these goals and we encourage legislators to enact environmentally responsible policies.

We are the state's only organization dedicated solely to providing a non-partisan voice for Kentucky 's environmental community in Frankfort . KCC works to make sound environmental stewardship a priority for elected officials and voters.

Founded in 1975, KCC supports conservation and sustainable environmental policies, and holds elected officials accountable for the decisions they make affecting our resources and our air and water quality.

How We Do It:

The Kentucky Conservation Committee (KCC) performs a pivotal role in environmental advocacy. We scrutinize legislation and inform voters, in a timely fashion, of the choices their elected officials are making. We achieve our goals through increased public awareness and legislative outreach. KCC employs an experienced lobbyist who expresses our concerns to legislators on a personal and professional level. KCC is the voice of the environment in state government.

KCC educates legislators, government officials, and citizens through our two newsletters: The Alert and The Guardian . We use public presentations, educational events, media, and e-mail to create a network of informed citizens.
