I believe the answer is:

green

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'conservationist' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sickly hue' is the second definition.
'green' can be an answer for 'hue' (green is a kind of colour). I'm not certain of the 'sickly' bit.

'of a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Lacking experience (on the golf course?)" , "cheap marijuana" , "Environmentally sound" , "The colour of inexperience" , "Proverbial constituent of our moon" .)
