The Ohio Environmental Council is an Eco-Network of more than 100 Ohio-based environmental, conservation and community groups that share a common vision: to ensure clean air, safe water and conservation of Ohio's unique natural resources for our families and for future generations.

United together, we can make important changes we cannot accomplish alone.

The Ohio Environmental Council works to ensure that your group's voice and the collective voice of Ohio's grassroots conservation community is heard in Columbus-so that our government leaders make the right decisions.

Together, we have a unique opportunity to conserve Ohio's natural heritage—the forests and prairies, lakeshore and scenic rivers. Together, we can improve air and water quality for future generations. Together, we can truly make our collective voice heard and truly make a difference.

Please call (614) 487-7506 to join now.
