CONSERVATION

Kanawha Garden Club's Conservation Committee supports the purpose of the GCA's Conservation Committee which is to keep the membership well informed on current conservation issues; to promote respect for natural resources and responsibility for environmental stewardship; to encourage clubs to identify and carry out conservation work locally; to provide environmental education programs for youth and the general public; and with the Executive Committee's approval, to work with other conservation agencies and organizations whose programs complement those of The Garden Club of America.

Our intent on this page is to supply both local and national information on topics such as recycling, climate change, invasive plants, gmo's, pollinator projects, and pesticides.
