The
Vineyard Conservation Society is a non-profit membership organization
dedicated to preserving the environment of Martha’s Vineyard through
advocacy, education and the protection of the Island’s land and water.
Founded
in 1965, VCS is the Island’s only conservation organization whose
mission includes advocacy and public education, as well as resource
protection.
In
the years ahead, we believe that the health of our Island and its
waters will increasingly depend on an informed and mobilized public.
That’s why we partner with government and civic groups whenever
possible, to promote community action in defense of a viable Vineyard
environment and future. Conservation
today is about more than land protection. At VCS, we believe in a broad
definition of environmental stewardship: we’re always prepared to fight
inappropriate development, but we also advocate for pro-active
solutions in all areas of environmental concern.
