2009 Summer Training Workshops !!
Thank you for all of your hard work to help raise the volume of conservation’s voice throughout Virginia!
Now join Virginia Conservation Network and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters-Education Fund at one of our 2009 Summer Workshops. Come have dinner, meet Legislative Contact Team members and environmental leaders in your area, and learn how to build upon and increase the effectiveness of your legislative advocacy.
Speak for the Environment! Legislative Contact Teams are activists who volunteer as the conservation contacts in their home districts. Throughout the year these volunteers receive training on effective lobbying techniques, briefings on Virginia conservation priorities, and other valuable subjects.
Special Speaker: Katie Whitehead, Uranium Mining and Water Quality. In 1981, because of uranium exploration occurring throughout the state and the leasing of thousands of acres of land for uranium mining along the Piedmont from Pittsylvania County to Fauquier County, the Virginia General Assembly began studying the potential impacts of uranium mining. The 1982 General Assembly passed, and Governor Charles S. Robb signed into law, a moratorium on uranium mining pending completion of the legislature’s studies. The 1983 General Assembly extended the moratorium indefinitely. Legislation (SB 525) was unsuccessfully introduced during the 2008 Session of the Virginia General Assembly to create a study on the safety of uranium mining in Virginia. Virginia Uranium, Inc. is interested in mining uranium at Coles Hill in Pittsylvania County.
