NEW Shenandoah Valley Conservation Fellowship
We’re excited to introduce an opportunity to cultivate young conservationists in the Shenandoah Valley—a new Conservation Fellowship.
Small Streams. Big Impact.
Spending time in the Shenandoah Valley means feeling connected to water, whether that’s through fond memories of stream stomping, fishing, swimming in a nearby lake or simply appreciating the local water sources with which we are blessed.
Solving the Maintenance Problem
The Alliance and new partner Appalachian Conservation Corps have worked together on a program that reduces barriers to installing streamside buffers while also building a workforce that understands rural conservation needs.
Permanent Land Protection
Conservation easements are a proven strategy to permanently protect valuable farms and forests, streams and rivers.
Silver Lake
We are extremely excited to announce that our project to enhance access and protect Silver Lake in Dayton, Virginia is in the home stretch, and it was worth the wait!
What is a Watershed?
“Water runs downhill” is a phrase you’ve probably heard, and that phase, for the most part, explains a watershed.
Working to Advance Water Quality
There has never been a better time to get clean water and practices on the ground that also increase farm profitability.

Empowering Your ‘Sense of Place’
Communities with a strong sense of place become passionate when threats loom that could alter their way of life. However, that passion is often accompanied by feelings of powerlessness.
