Natural Resources Committee

Linda Goodling, Director 2024-2026

The Natural Resources Committee (NRC) monitors and speaks out on local environmental issues as stated in the LWV CVA Local Positions: “Actions” (2022-23).

The Natural Resources Committee meet on the last Monday of each month.

As reported earlier, after three years of developing Albemarle Comprehensive Plan, AC44, the NRC and other environmental groups are still waiting to find out what changes are being made to the plan. Our committee continues to fear that the rural areas and natural resources will be compromised. AC44 is a powerful tool for guiding what we hope our community will do in the future. Protecting our natural resources, rural areas, and green spaces are vital issues to be included in the comprehensive plan. The NCR is crafting a letter, to be approved by the League Board, requesting information regarding the changes to the plan and when the public will be invited to engage on this issue. To get involved, call or write to the Board of Supervisors. For more information on this or to gather talking points, visit Piedmont Environmental Council website here.
