Wild Virginia Incorporated

Water quality program - Wild Virginia continues to lead an effort to reform the way that the Virginia department of environmental quality and state water control board apply our water quality standards and that, where necessary, those standards are improved to fully protect our waters. As part of this program, we fight the water quality harms of fracking, oil, and gas infratructure, and the discharge of the forever chemical pfas.

Outings and education - Wild Virginia empowers others with the knowledge and skills to connect to the outdoors and to advocate for the protection of their Wild places. Our clean water advocates program is an online course that equips participants from across the state with fundamental knowledge of federal and state water protection laws, regulatory processes, and basic advocacy skills in order to influence environmental decisions and outcomes. Wild Virginia also hosts informational webinars, book clubs, comment- writing parties, and other learning and community building opportunities.

Habitat connectivity program - Wild Virginia increases statewide aquatic and terrestrial ecological connectivity through movement-based advocacy, collaboration, and public education focused on wildlife crossings and corridor projects. We are co-leader of the Virginia safe wildlife corridors collaborative, focused on prioritizing crossing and corridor projects throughout the commonwealth.
