Our Goals

Youth education has been a large part of the Foundation mission since 1995, and will be more crucial in the future. Prince William County is compelled to comply with the new environmental responsibilities of the Chesapeake Bay cleanup standards. These requirements will be costly, forcing the County to redirect funds for youth and adult education and outreach to the implementation of best management on-the-ground conservation practices for urban and agricultural lands. The Foundation has stepped in to continue to provide the vast knowledge of environmental and natural resources conservation education for all teachers grades K-12 in county and city schools. Teachers find our resources invaluable to comply with the VA Standards of Learning requirements.

The Foundation uses donations/grants/ rewards/funds to:

Provide technical assistance to agricultural landowners to implement practices to improve water quality in our waterways,
Provide environmental science and natural resources conservation education to teachers and students,
Provide outreach programs for PWC citizens, homeowners and farmers

Mission Statements

The Foundation will support the following missions and vision of the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District:
