The Conservation CSP implements programs for community beautification, air pollution and energy awareness, environmental education, recycling, resource conservation and water quality.
The Conservation CSP welcomes new members and volunteers.

- The Conservation CSP continues its close relationship with the NC Museum of Natural Sciences as volunteers at the museum and at Prairie Ridge.
- It provides Kind News, a monthly conservation newspaper, for each child in ten Wake County classrooms.
- Household recycling, recycling of ink cartridges from printers, litter prevention, and volunteering for community conservation activities are continually emphasized in Club meetings and the Club newsletter.
