About Us

The Fairfax LCV was created to help the Fairfax County environmental community actively participate in the local County electoral process. Our founding members are noted activists in the County and our process follows the Virginia State League of Conservation Voters.

The mission of the FCLV is to:

"protect, preserve, and promote a healthy environment for all the citizens of Fairfax County by electing officials dedicated to environmental stewardship. We believe that a conservation ethic is necessary to maintain our quality of life and our economic vitality depends on environmental sustainability. Fairfax has a tradition of environmental excellence, from protecting the Occoquan watershed to preserving Huntley Meadows and our stream valleys. We will support candidates that respect our heritage and preserve our County for future generations."
