What We Do

NVSWCD is not a regulatory agency and not a part of Fairfax County Government. Instead, it collaborates with Fairfax County and other partners to support conservation efforts. We promote soil and water conservation in Fairfax County and beyond. We are innovators. We promote hands-on conservation. We provide technical expertise. We develop young environmental leaders. We help you bring conservation home. We prevent pollution, reduce runoff and protect our streams and rivers.
