Why has environmentalism become associated almost exclusively with liberalism?

Is there something about conservatism that is inherently incompatible with environmentalism? Would it be possible to be both a conservative and a staunch environmentalist? I can’t think of any examples, not recent ones anyway. If you hear someone expressing concerns about the environment, would you assume they’re a liberal?
Or is it just that conservatives don’t think that government should have a role in environmental regulation? Are market forces supposed to be enough to ensure sustainability and ecological health?
