About CLF

Conservation

Law Foundation (CLF) protects New England’s environment for the benefit of all

people. A non-profit, member-supported organization, CLF uses the law, science

and the market to solve the region’s most challenging environmental problems

from climate change to ocean conservation to transportation. Every day, CLF

advocates stand up for New Englanders – in state houses, court houses and board

rooms, regulatory hearings and community gatherings

–

to forge innovative paths to environmental progress and economic prosperity for

all in our region. To that end, CLF works with communities of color and those

that are economically or otherwise disadvantaged, which often suffer

disproportionately from environmental degradation. CLF is committed to

representing New England’s diversity in our staff, volunteers, boards and

membership and creating a positive, inclusive workplace culture where all can

thrive. People of color are encouraged to apply.
