An apparent stealth group:

The Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy (CREA) states that it:

"... is committed to preserving America’s natural resources, air, water, and scenic beauty for future generations. CREA's mission is to foster environmental protection by promoting fair, community-based solutions to environmental challenges, highlighting Republican environmental accomplishments and building on our Republican tradition of conservation."

Unfortunately, their main goals appear to be to:

bulletRidicule what they refer to as "excessive and intolerant" environmental groups who are critical of the Republican administration's efforts on the environment, and
bulletAdvertise the efforts made by Republicans to help the environment.
bulletGive priority to the short-term preservation of jobs at the expense of long term protection of the environment.
