Issues and Committees

Poudre Canyon Group volunteers work on a wide variety of issues that are important to the people and environment of Northern Colorado. The Conservation Committee is the umbrella committee for most conservation issues. In some cases, subcommittees have been formed to address specific issues and campaigns, such as energy, recycling, and water resources. These subcommittees usually meet on an as-needed basis. See the Calendar for times and locations.
