Conservation Law Foundation, Inc.

The Healthy Communities and Environmental Justice Program focuses on transit-oriented development, environmentally sound land use practices, transportation reform, and farm and food policy advocacy and services, with an emphasis on the needs of underserved populations. The Healthy Communities and Environmental Justice Program is working to end the unfair environmental burdens imposed on low-income and communities of color; cutting pollution from our vehicles and creating alternatives to driving; pushing for better and more affordable public transit options across New England; and helping build a regional food system that supports access to fresh healthy food, creates jobs, cuts emissions, protects farmland, and grows our local economy.

The Ocean Conservation Program focuses on sustainable fisheries management and marine environmental protection. CLF’s advocates are pushing for permanent protection of our ocean’s most at-risk places, working with stakeholders throughout New England to achieve the right balance between ocean protection and development, and fighting to restore New England’s legendary fish populations before they vanish for good. This program works to protect endangered wildlife and underwater habitat in New England’s ocean waters, and to build a more sustainable future for our fisheries and coastal communities.

The Clean Air and Water Program focuses on air and waterway protection. Our advocates are fighting for new protections and creative solutions to keep stormwater pollution from wreaking havoc on our communities, working at both the state and individual waterbody level to control nitrogen pollution that causes dead zones and toxic algal blooms. We are holding polluting businesses accountable to the Clean Water and Clean Air acts, one polluter at a time.
