The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit working to create a world where people and nature can thrive.

Founded in the U.S. through grassroots action in 1951, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has grown to become one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world. Thanks to more than a million members and the dedicated efforts of our diverse staff and over 400 scientists, we impact conservation in 81 countries and territories: 40 by direct conservation impact and 41 through partners.

Simply stated, our goal is to make Indiana a better place to live, breathe, work, and play. Our two greatest tools are education and advocacy. And if passion is a tool, then add that to the list.

Putting science to work in the most beneficial ways imaginable, we aim to work in harmony with nature and people, creating lasting partnerships that will benefit both. By bringing issues to the forefront and encouraging an open discussion about Indiana’s environmental well being, we can help shape laws, create jobs, protect the environment, and improve our quality of life.

Our mission
We’re a community of people building a new energy system with rooftop solar at the cornerstone. We help people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.

Our vision
We envision a clean, equitable energy system that directs control and benefits back to local communities, with solar on every roof and money in every pocket.

Working to promote renewable energy and distributed generation.
