VCN has welcomed three new fellows – Anjel Iriaghomo, Victoria Jenkins and Katherine Hewes – into the Environmental Advocacy Fellowship for fall 2023. The three fellows will be working on various projects that include but are not limited to: creating an Environmental Glossary, writing blog posts, and expanding VCN's awareness with video production.
The VCN Board plays an important role in the conservation community, and this fall our Network elected two new members to the Board of Directors.
Virginia Conservation Network presented six awards at the first annual Conservation Awards at their annual Meeting & Partner Retreat to recognize influential environmental advocacy professionals working in Virginia’s partnership of 160+ organizations.
