We understand that for many, early June marks the beginning of the summer travel season, and your calendar may prevent you from attending our annual fundraising gala, An Evening in the Garden, in person. Still, you can be a hero, present in spirit, by donating to NVCT today.

Each donation benefits our region by assisting in the permanent protection of critical conservation resources. From safeguarding Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve in Stafford County to Saving River Farm in Alexandria, your heroic contributions help us to save Northern Virginia's nature.

NVCT's 2022 Annual Gala

We had such a wonderful time at our 2022 Annual Gala 

 AN EVENING AT RIVER FARM 

The conversation, the great food, the excellent drinks, and the amazing community—all came together to acknowledge the importance of protecting our region's natural areas and the history and culture of Northern Virginia as well.

 

During the event, we awarded our first-ever Rich Bliss Award and Peggy Stevens Awards to several incredible conservation heroes who, as protectors of nature, have set an incredible example of how to impact our environment. Click below to experience the event and learn about the significance of these new awards and their worthy awardees

We really enjoyed it. It's obviously such a pretty place. I was just kind of blown away... how united everyone was and being able to celebrate and feel a sense of accomplishment over saving river farm.

It was really nice to see how NVCT's work has impacted people... and it was just really great to see just how important this work is to people and the spaces they care about, like River Farm.
