Each year Valley Conservation Council works to recognize someone in our community that has provided a substantial impact on conservation in our region. At the annual meeting on September 10, we were proud to recognize Sarah Francisco, Director of the Virginia Office of the Southern Environmental Law Center. In Sarah we recognized a leader who serves to protect our natural resources, including George Washington National Forest, provides an uplifting and hopeful vision to others in a turbulent time, and whose continued efforts will provide a lasting impact on conservation issues important to our region, our future, and our children’s children’s children’s future. Thank you for your work Sarah!
