In Their Words …
“On environmental protection depend our quality of life, our security and ultimately our survival. So support the League of Conservation Voters...then get out and vote.”
Russell Train, Former EPA Administrator
Why Maryland LCV

The Maryland League of Conservation Voters has been the state’s environmental watchdog since 1979. We are best known for our comprehensive scorecards that evaluate the environmental votes of individual state legislators and the Governor.

The Maryland LCV has also worked the halls of the State House in Annapolis to push for sound conservation laws such as the Water Quality Improvement Act, Smart Growth Act, Chesapeake Bay Restoration Act, and helped restore millions of dollars of funding for land conservation through Program Open Space.

Our work during elections has helped voters understand the environmental records of the candidates. In the 2002 elections, 80 percent of all Maryland LCV-endorsed candidates won their races, and candidates endorsed by the Maryland LCV won 6 out of 8 targeted Senate races.

The Maryland LCV also helps to educate the public and promote grassroots advocacy through our online program. We send out regular email updates and action alerts that make it easy for Marylanders to keep on top of the issues and get involved to help protect our air, land, and water.
