Conservation Priorites

The Huron Valley Group Conservation Committee focuses on a variety issues related to protecting our environment. We currently meet on an ad-hoc basis to address particular issues. Help us make the area a more livable, healthy, and enjoyable place to live by letting us know the issues that concern you!
