Conservation Voters of South Carolina

We’re a statewide organization that has been holding elected leaders directly accountable for a safe, clean, and healthy South Carolina since 2003.

What is CVSC?

Conservation Voters of South Carolina holds our state legislators accountable for their conservation votes and actions.

We use all the tools at our disposal to advance conservation policy in the South Carolina General Assembly, including grassroots advocacy, direct lobbying, and electoral engagement. CVSC is a 501(c4) organization with an affiliated Political Action Committee (PAC). We partner closely with a sister organization, Conservation Voters of South Carolina Education Fund. 

Our Vision

Our vision for South Carolina is one where natural resources are recognized as an irreplaceable part of our economy, history, and culture — and where economic development and conservation goals align.

Our Mission

CVSC fights for our air, land, and water through bipartisan and pragmatic political action, making conservation and environmental issues a top priority among South Carolina’s elected leaders, political candidates, and voters.

Our Impact

South Carolina is changing fast, and so are the challenges facing our environment. In response, CVSC has launched a bold 10-year Strategic Plan—a roadmap for achieving ambitious, long-term solutions to the state’s most pressing environmental threats. The plan focuses on electing conservation-minded leaders, protecting the spaces that sustain us, advancing clean energy, safeguarding water, and ensuring every South Carolinian has a voice in environmental decision-making.
