On the Annual Conservation Lobby Day each year, conservationists from around the state travel to the State House to meet, greet and encourage elected leaders to support the Common Agenda priorities. 

The day begins with a morning briefing, after which the group walks to the State House to speak to legislators about support for conservation bills. During the afternoon, participants attend committee meetings and enjoy free time to tour Columbia and the State House grounds. In the evening participants attend an informal oyster roast under the stars at the historic Seibels House. Participants share live music and local food with legislative guests.

If you only go to the State House once a year to speak to your legislator, Annual Conservation Day is the day to visit. For more information, contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
