Discover how communities across Northern Virginia are transforming their parks through powerful community-government collaborations. Four distinguished park stewardship leaders will share their success stories, practical insights, and answer your questions about creating effective partnership models. Our speakers include representatives from Friends of Mason Neck, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, Upton Hills Regional Park, and Riverbend Park.

This virtual symposium is a component of our Stretch Our Parks initiative, dedicated to enhancing the ecological value of Northern Virginia’s parks for birds and other wildlife. Following the success of our Habitat Restoration and Expansion Symposium last October, we developed this program in direct response to participants’ requests for deeper insights into park stewardship models.
