This website is under development and we are now taking members, especially RI conservation commissioners. However, anyone with a serious interest in conservation issues in Rhode Island may join. Anyone wishing to join should give a reasonable answer in the field, "My Interests" and especially indicate groups you may belong to that concern conservation.

“What is Conservation?”
 
What is conservation really?!............
 
I would suggest that all of us change the term ‘conservation’ to the much more adequate identifying description, “Conservation, Ecological Design, and Holistic Development.”
 

All member commissioners -- from the imaginative and intrepid to the just plain curious -- are welcome to attend and sit in on this important board meeting!

RIACC feels fortunate to be partnering with fellow and sister environmentally minded organizations to develop training programs and an array of workshops for a wide variety of purposes. Our primary interest is in developing support for our fellow commissioners in their municipal functions and work.
