A Year in Review: VCN’s 2022 Annual Report

Over the last year, VCN worked with our 150+ Network Partners to maintain momentum around policy gains while continuing to navigate working within the confines of the COVID-19 pandemic. The year was defined by a gubernatorial election and the infusion of federal money into the state budget. It ended with a vastly different political landscape including a new, untested Governor and a change in conservation strategy from offense to defense.

Our Annual Report reviews Virginia Conservation Network’s work from Spring 2021 to Winter 2022. While it feels almost impossible to cover everything we worked on last year in only a few pages, we did our best to squeeze in the highlights, including:

  • our strategy to advance conservation initiatives year-round,
  • our policy gains and challenges through the General Assembly session,
  • our Network Partner engagement events,
  • VCN staff updates,
  • …and more!
