@kcristol Excited to work with you in this new role, Katie! You’ve left an indelible mark on Arlington that you will continue to see evolve as a resident now. Congratulations on the transition and thanks for being a great partner!

[Alan Rowsome @alanrowsome]

@kcristol Thanks for this message, @kcristol. Was definitely a long and difficult morning with three kids to place. And we had great internet and flexible schedules. Not ok for those less fortunate

An amazing property that NVCT is proud to now hold a conservation easement on after working with Roger's family to protect it. He was a wonderful man who cared deeply about his land and its legacy. We look forward to honoring his commitment to it

@BLM_ES @ChesConserv Proud to have been a part of this event and so appreciate the partnership that @nvct has with Meadowood and @ChesConserv Looking forward to many opportunities in the years ahead to enhance this wonderful place and bring more people to it!

Last week, we held a ceremony to honor our partnership with @ChesConserv and to celebrate the new field station office at Meadowood SRMA!

Thank you to everyone involved! Learn more about the partnership and new facility here: https://t.co/x3qbcAsSFP

Privileged to have joined great partners today in signing a new MOU and dedicating a new office building to the BLM Meadowood staff. The recreation area is a true jewel in Northern VA and we’re working hard to expand it’s boundaries with new property acquisitions.

A year ago when we were asked to lead a Save River Farm effort, I suspect most people figured it was a lost cause. Now we'll likely get to work with AHS' new leadership to protect River Farm with a conservation easement. Chalk one up for the good guys!

Excited to announce our region's newest nature preserve! Protecting intact wildlife habitat, tree canopy and clean water sources in fast growing areas is a huge part of the climate change solution, and this site is a perfect example. @nvct @fairfaxcounty https://t.co/7lkNYPPwak

We are getting closer to saving River Farm for all time and ensuring that its history and its natural beauty will be preserved forever. Thank you @MarkHerringVA @ssurovell @KrizekForVA @DanStorck for never giving up and persevering until it gets done. @nvct #saveriverfarm

Had a cameo on Fox 5 last night detailing what's at stake with the impending sale of George Washington's River Farm. Go to https://t.co/TN7jgdQzfC and get involved - there's such a great opportunity for this to be a success story! #saveriverfarm

Sincere thanks to @RobWittman for hosting his environmental roundtable this morning and for his critically important and principaled vote in support of the Great American Outdoors Act. Virginia’s parks, refuges and wildlife habitat are better today because of your leadership!

[Alan Rowsome @alanrowsome]

So incredibly proud to have been a part of this campaign for a decade and helping it grow, first with baby steps and some tough days along the way. All worth it to get to this moment! #FundLWCF

[LWCF Coalition @LWCFCoalition]

BREAKING NEWS!! For the first time ever, the Senate has voted to fully and permanently #FundLWCF! The Great American Outdoors Act just passed with overwhelming bipartisan support!!

The Fairfax Co Board meets tonight to decide whether to build a new school at Blake Lane Park in Oakton. School needs are of course critical, but our parks are too and another location must be found. Call your supervisor today or attend the hearing to #saveblakelanepark @nvct
