The North Columbia Environmental Society is a new group (approx. 2 years old) in Revelstoke, BC that are working on a variety of environmental issues in the community.

Specific Goals of this project include:
• Maintain the momentum gained in enhancing local environmental stewardship.
• Promote awareness and improve knowledge of local environmental issues.
• Better equip citizens to recognize and to understand environmental impacts.
• Improve the ability and skills of the citizens of Revelstoke to obtain and act upon information pertaining to environmental issues.
