Our History

In 2011, a diverse group of local stakeholders created the Lake County Energy and Sustainability Plan. Efforts by this group subsequently led to a new Lake County recycling center, the community’s first public renewable energy project, and the first large-scale zero-waste events. The group that developed and implemented these projects became Cloud City Conservation Center’s founding board and staff. The organization began operations on January 1st, 2013 with seed funding from Lake County Government.
