AMC Conservation Approaches
How We’re Creating a More Sustainable Future
AMC is actively engaged in conservation and research from Maine to Virginia, helping to ensure the future enjoyment of the outdoors for all. Our approach to conservation combines science, advocacy, and on the ground protection and stewardship of land and trails.
Science
Science enables evidence-based decision-making, ensuring conservation work is informed by the best-available data and expertise. Our dedicated team of research scientists are investigating the impacts of climate change in the mountains; the effects of air and water pollution on the natural world; and the strategies needed to support climate resilience and protect the vital ecosystems we rely on and enjoy.
Advocacy
At AMC, we believe the outdoors deserves a voice. We work with decision makers, federal and state agencies, and a wide range of non-governmental partners from Maine to Virginia to protect the outdoors. We advocate for public policy that addresses climate change, improves air and water quality, and protects the lands, forests, water, and outdoor recreation opportunities we depend on.
