If you care care deeply about the present and future of our local environment and the need for us to help protect it, then joining the CCHL may just be the thing for you.

CCHL Mission: To inspire, encourage, and assist HLCC and CA members to become active stewards of our local ecosystems.

Who are we? HL members who volunteer our time and talents to support our mission.

We attempt to include all club members who are willing and able to participate.
