The RCC, founded in 1965, is the national environmental organization envisioned by Rachel Carson to carry on her work after her death.
We promote Carson's ecological ethic that combines scientific concern for the environment and human health with a sense of wonder and reverence for all forms of life in order to build a sustainable, just, and peaceful future.
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.—Rachel Carson
