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.
Our North Star – Sari Carp
This award honors individuals who are no longer with us but who contributed significantly to conservation efforts in the Shenandoah Valley.
Valley Land Conservation and Chesapeake Bay Restoration: Time to Set New Targets
Now is the time for Virginia decision makers to commit to new Chesapeake Bay targets that reflect today’s opportunities and challenges, including a continued commitment to land conservation.
Expanding the Grassland Habitat Program
We are eager to assist farmers in adopting new bird-friendly practices such as delayed spring haying and summer pasture stockpiling.
