Description
The Sierra Club of Northern California/Nevada Conservation Committee records document the organization’s conservation policy

Background
The Sierra Club of Northern California/Nevada Conservation Committee was founded in 1968 as the Sierra Club Northern California
Regional Conservation Committee and is also known as the California Conservation Committee, the California-Nevada Conservation
Coordinating Committee and CNRCC. The organization works to establish general conservation policy and specific conservation

issue committees and task forces that research and propose conservation policy and coordinate and implement programs for conservation
issues across the various chapter boundaries.
