The Environmental Advocate for Martha’s Vineyard

The Vineyard Conservation Society is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to preserving the environment of Martha’s Vineyard through advocacy, education, and the protection of the Island’s land and water.

Originally formed in 1965 by a small group concerned with the preservation of natural habitats, VCS today embraces a broad view of conservation. In addition to traditional land protection, addressing the Island’s current and future environmental challenges increasingly requires an informed and mobilized public. Through public education, local political advocacy, and legal defense work, we will continue to promote community action in pursuit of a healthy environment and sustainable future.
