What is Gen C?
The Nature Conservancy's Generation Conservation group (Gen C) brings together a cross-section of Nashville's brightest men and women who share a love of nature, a concern for the environment, and a belief that hope and action are indispensible for making a difference. Our goal is to ensure that our peers and the next generation of Tennesseans learn about and participate in conservation at a local, regional, and global level.
Who is Gen C?
Intended for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, Gen C will host events throughout the year, including hikes, nature preserve trips, and cocktail parties in Nashville and beyond. Many of Gen C's activities will be open to anyone who is interested, though a number of events are exclusive to members only, including preserve trips and events hosted by Conservancy Trustees.
Potential Gen C members may already spend time in Tennessee's natural areas. They may hike, canoe, climb, bike, or fish. They may already be well versed in market-based approaches to conservation, like mitigation banking and carbon sequestration. They may already know that Tennessee is the most biologically diverse inland state, that our state has more than 9,200 caves sheltering literally millions of bats of 15 different species, and that the Duck River has more varieties of fish and mussels than all European rivers combined. Or they may simply be interested in learning such things.
The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve plants, animals, and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
