YCLI graduation photo 2025

​Congratulations to Erin Jansen, 9th grade (third in from the left) and Zainab Soofi, 12th grade (sixth in from left).

​

Zainab is also the recipient of the Prince William Environmental Excellence Foundation's $2,000 scholarship.

From the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts:

​

Virginia is embarking on a survey to help us learn more about voluntary conservation practices on Virginia farms in the Chesapeake Bay watershed…like yours! The information you provide in response to the survey will help Virginia tell the story of what farmers are doing to conserve soil and improve water quality. This is incredibly important information that can help agriculture achieve its water quality goals for the Watershed Implementation Plan for the Chesapeake Bay.

​

To take the survey, click here.

​

The survey should take around 30 minute to complete.
