Since 1966, CLF’s tenacious advocacy staff has worked to solve the most significant environmental problems that threaten New England. CLF’s advocates use law, economics and science to create innovative strategies to conserve natural resources, protect public health and promote vital communities in our region.

Protecting Georges Bank from oil drilling and overfishing, ending decades of thoughtless sewage dumping into Boston Harbor, preserving bear habitat in Vermont, saving New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch from a 4-lane highway and writing monumental lead protection laws in Rhode Island – these are but a few of CLF’s landmark achievements.
