Virginia League of Conservation Voters
Education Fund

The Virginia League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (VALCV-EF) was established in 2001 to help citizens and organizations concerned with conservation and Virginia's environment. VALCV-EF helps citizens to more effectively participate in government and policy development.

VALCV-EF Programs

I. Citizen Education
VALCVEF undertakes a number of activities aimed at improving the public's understanding of environmental and conservation issues. VALCV-EF offers training seminars to conservation organizations throughout the state, connecting the issues with decision-making by elected officials.

II. Public Policy Advocacy
VALCV-EF serves as a clearinghouse to communicate the positions of Virginia's entire conservation community. We work with local conservation organizations to craft and deliver effective messages for their local governing bodies, the media and the public. VALCV-EF also manages the CAV Alert Network, helping citizens voice their concerns to Virginia's state decision-makers via e-mail action alerts (CAV Alerts).

III. Voter Participation
VALCV-EF educates voters about state and local environmental issues and encourages participation in Virginia's democratic process. VALCV-EF provides information to citizens regarding voter registration and obtaining absentee ballots. VALCV-EF also sends direct mail and electronic communications to the public to encourage citizens to "Vote Environment."
