If you would like a member of the Sustainable Sandhills Staff to come speak to your club or organization, or would like to host a film screening for our Sustainable Film Series, please contact Angela Dennis, angelad@sustainablesandhills.org, 704.701.7847.
Active Lee CAT Projects;
We are partnering with local organizations to identify homes for our energy and water conservation project. This project involves making simple changes to local homes - installation of compact fluorescent lightbulbs, low-flow faucets and shower heads, and HVAC filters - that lower monthly utility bills while conserving natural resources. If you are interested in being a volunteer to help us service homes in Lee County, please contact Brenda Johnson (brendaj@sustainablesandhills.org, 910-484-9098)
