A property in Loudoun County will be preserved for all time! The protection of this land is crucial in maintaining the quality of drinking water for Northern Virginia residents, safeguarding two centuries of history and sustaining local wildlife habitats. youtube.com/watch?v=9xDzr8tI…

Our office is located in the heart of Annandale Community Park & that means various wildlife sightings! Today our staff stumbled upon a frog, snake & a beautiful three-legged Eastern box turtle. You never know what wildlife you could find in your very own backyard in Northern VA!

Pres. Trump’s expected actions today will make him the most anti-conservation, president in our history. He will be challenged by tribes and thoughtful citizens that recognize that some places are too special to develop. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
