In addition to recognizing significant environmental contributions in sustainability, environmental projects, and land conservation, this year’s awards also recognize exemplary implementation of the Virginia Outdoors Plan. Winners represent businesses and industrial facilities, not-for-profit organizations, and government agencies located throughout the Commonwealth.
