Why are you proud to support The Nature Conservancy? During his remarks at our Hoochie Patron Party, President Carter outlined his successes protecting landscapes like the Flint River, Georgia marshlands and the Alaska wilderness. “I’m not bragging on myself. But I’m just saying that that’s what I inherited from the principles established by The Nature Conservancy. And I have always been grateful for what you all have meant to me and those who preceded you in keeping alive this wonderful organization.”

Don’t throw away pumpkins after Halloween. Find woods or a field near you, smash them open and leave for the wildlife to eat. Pumpkin is safe for them and the seeds act as a natural dewormer. (Be sure to break them up so the deer don’t get their head stuck inside!) 2.5 billion pumpkins produced, only one fifth gets reused. The rest end up decaying in landfills creating methane gases that harm the environment. So recycle those pumpkins to the wildlife (or even to a wildlife rehab if there’s one near you or ask a local farm if they want them for their cows or pigs) recycling plus a food source for hungry animals. (pigs, cows and chickens LOVE pumpkin) 🎃 🐷🐮🐥

Our Story

The North Area Environmental Council (NAEC) was founded in 1969 by a group of North Hills residents in response to an environmental series at the North Hills YWCA called Our Plundered Planet.

From this beginning awareness, NAEC has published studies of the watersheds in the North Hills, operated recycling events, conducted environmental education and cleanup events, awarded teacher and student scholarships, and advocated for environmental protection. NAEC publishes a bimonthly newsletter about current environmental concerns.
