Most states have local branches or chapters of national organizations.
For example, the National Audubon Society has state chapters and local chapters. The Michigan Audubon Society serves the state and the Grand Rapids Audubon Club serves West Michigan. Another great place to start researching is a local nature center or biological station. An on-staff naturalist would be a great person to talk to about many different issues related to the environment. For example, in West Michigan the Land Conservancy of West Michigan would be an excellent resource if you had questions regarding land issues while Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council is a leading organization in Michigan in watershed education and protection.
