The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

Washington’s Next Generation is the fresh, new face of conservation. And it looks pretty good if you ask us.

In the face of issues as global as climate change and as local as restoring Puget Sound, Next Gen is a group of Seattle conservationists in our 40s and younger who are injecting a hopeful energy into efforts to protect nature and preserve life.

As part of The Nature Conservancy, we put on an exciting array of events for our peers to learn, discuss and connect for nature. Help Next Gen give that youthful glow to local conservation with a global impact.

Get in on the action and help grow our voice and influence, so we can shape the future we face. Together we can :

• Clean up Puget Sound.
• Bring wild salmon back to the Washington coast.
• Restore our eastern forests from Canada to Oregon.
• Preserve our sagelands heritage in Washington.
• Help solve global conservation challenges.
• Inspire more of our peers to value nature.

Back in the fall of 2009, a half dozen Seattle-area young professionals came together to form a new Nature Conservancy group with an ambitious goal: leaving a more sustainable world for future generations, starting with our own.

Go ahead, get inspired for nature -- and not just in an ironic way.
