Virginia League of Conservation Voters

State: 
Virginia

We Virginians cherish our heritage. We also love our land. We all want clean air, clean water, preservation of our heritage, and protection of our farmland and forests.

Too often, however, our government has allowed our history to be paved over, our air and waters to become polluted, and our productive land to be wasted in poorly planned development projects.

Virginia deserves elected officials who are responsive to the people. To give us a strong political voice and electoral force for conservation and preservation, the Virginia League of Conservation Voters (VALCV) was formed in the spring of 2000.

VALCV is the 30th of the state LCVs to form across the country, modeled on the national LCV in Washington which focuses on conservation at the national level.
