Who We Are: The Ohio
Environmental Council has been behind the scenes and on
the front lines of some of Ohio’s most critical environmental
battles. For 30 years, citizens across the state have
counted on the Ohio Environmental Council to be their
voice in the Statehouse—fighting to protect Ohio’s environment
and vanishing open space.
The mission of the Ohio Environmental
Council is to inform, unite, and empower Ohio citizens
to protect the environment and conserve natural resources.
We rely on the support of foundations, community organizations
and individuals to carry on our work. The Ohio Environmental
Council is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that neither
promotes nor opposes any candidate for public office.
With its over 1800 individual
members, 118 Eco-Network Members and 128 community supporters,
the OEC continues to unite Ohio’s conservation and environmental
community to keep watch of Ohio’s air and water quality,
take action to better environmental policies, and make
change for a greener tomorrow.
