As the State's peak environmental organisation since 1955, the Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) works closely with member groups, local communities, government and business to ensure a positive future for our environment. We serve as the umbrella organisation for more than 120 environmental member groups to co-ordinate and develop NSW-based community education projects, scientific research, conferences, publications and awareness campaigns. We also advise key decision-makers at a local, state and national level.
