CVC's fall Stream School season kicks off with our partner Blue Ridge Land Conservancy during Bay Days at Camp Bethel in Botetourt County tomorrow through Thursday. We're looking forward to giving 4th graders an up-close introduction to water bugs as water quality indicators.

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS (part 3 of 3)!
EPS will soon be banned in Virginia. By July 2028, large food establishments with more than 20 locations will have to stop using EPS with the rest of the food vendors discontinuing use by July 2030.https://t.co/946LJEn5Mx

Could we *BEE* any more excited about the new Bee City signs!? Have you seen them around the city? Our staff spotted them on Plantation Road, near Vic Thomas Park, and this one here that is next to our offices in Grandin. 🐝🐝

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS (part 2 of 3)!

What can you do to move away from EPS? Bring your own reusable containers, use recyclable paper products, foil or metal, or recyclable plastic containers. We carry water bottles everywhere we go--why not food containers?

It's time to consider alternatives to EPS! Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam takes hundreds of years to break down, often becomes litter due to its lightweight size, and studies have shown that EPS may be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) as well as damaging to liver and nerve tissue.

It’s #pollinatorweek! Did you know that pollinators like bees, butterflies, and bats provide 1 out of 3 bites of food we eat? Say thanks by planting native plants, supporting local farmers, and educating others about the importance of pollinators!
