A Year in Review: VCN’s Annual Report from Spring 2023-Winter 2024

“Together, we have made real policy gains for our environment while growing our power as a movement.”

— Mary Rafferty, VCN Executive Director

Thanks to highly coordinated efforts, VCN has grown to over 160 environmental organizations. With an increasing number of VCN Partners engaged in the work, VCN achieved record-breaking numbers: 45 policy papers highlighting unique environmental issues were published in Our 2024 Common Agenda, including five new campaigns.

This year’s Annual Report reviews Virginia Conservation Network’s work from Spring 2023 to Winter 2024. 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 top highlights, including:

  • our strategy to advance conservation initiatives year-round,
  • our Network Partners and the work they did in our five main issue areas,
  • our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice,
  • and more!
