Students Attend 2017 Conservation Lobby Day

Students from the Environmental Science class and the Tandem Earth Committee attended the Conservation Lobby Day in Richmond sponsored by the Virginia Conservation Network. Prior to speaking to our elected representative, students researched and prepared letters on various topics from maintaining funding for agricultural best management practices and storm water runoff to transparency concerning fracking fluids. In addition, students had the opportunity to watch the discussion and vote on Senate Bill 1055. It was a timely discussion in light of the recent marches around the country.
