The Rachel Carson Council is the national environmental organization envisioned by Rachel Carson and founded in 1965 to carry on her work after her death. We promote Rachel 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, peaceful future.
The Rachel Carson Campus Network (RCCN) links students, faculty, staff, and administrators at campuses nationwide to the Rachel Carson Council to provide and share information and resources, to recruit environmental leaders, and to work on campus and off to create lasting changes in policy and practice for a sustainable future.
