Sierra Club (good environmental advocates, large membership, significant voice) The Nature Conservancy (Conserving environmentally-valuable land) The Georgia Conservancy (Like the Nature Conservancy, but specific to Georgia) Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeepers (We know someone who works there)
I have also done some volunteer work for the Sierra Club in the past.
Another organization of which I have a growing fondness is the Environmental Defense Fund (http://www.environmentaldefense.org/home.cfm). They do a lot of great environmental work while tempered with a decent degree of realism.
While I can admire their spirit and intentions, I just have some issues with some of the kinds of things Greenpeace does. Also, it seems they have a tendency to overlook the bigger picture and can be somewhat misinformed on issues.
