CONSERVATION NEWS

Farmers Can Help Protect Our Waters

We need full funding for the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS) to help farmers implement practices to reduce pollution while enhancing farm productivity and boosting the farmer’s bottom line. VACS reduces pollution from farming, improves the Commonwealth’s natural resources, and amplifies the agricultural economy.

ROUNDUP: Virginia Energy Plan

Virginia Conservation Network and our partners called on the Governor to use this plan to continue to map out Virginia’s clean energy future and meet our goal to be carbon-free by 2050. Instead, Youngkin’s plan seeks to undermine the Virginia Clean Economy Act, repeal our Clean Car Standards, and invest in unproven technologies.
