NVSWCD Green Breakfast Survey

The first Green Breakfast, hosted by Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District, was held in April of 2002. They’ve covered a lot of ground since then and are now in their 22nd year of hosting fun, bimonthly gatherings to discuss environmental topics of interest to Northern Virginia residents.

Green Breakfasts are held on the second Saturday of every other month. That’s six exciting events every year! They have had some amazing speakers and covered many engaging topics in the last two decades, from tree preservation to black bears to energy conservation.

So, what’s next? Tell them!

  • What environmental topics do you want to hear about?
  • Have you heard someone give a talk that you think their audience would love to hear too?

Take the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access Survey

The Fairfax County Park Authority is in the midst of developing the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access (PROSA) Strategy. PROSA’s scope encompasses the entire park system. It will examine and identify 10-minute walk access gaps to FCPA parks, evaluate complete park experiences, analyze habitat connectivity between environmental corridors, and analyze and prioritize recreation needs and projects with an equity lens.

The outcomes of PROSA will inform our CIP, land acquisition and many other decisions once completed next year. Community input is very important for this project, so they’re asking for your assistance to complete the survey and get the word out as they are just beginning their community engagement efforts.

They invite you to take the online community survey: FCPA Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access Strategy – PublicInput.com. The survey is open through December 11, 2022. It’s also available on the project website: Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access (PROSA) Strategy | Park Authority (fairfaxcounty.gov).
