Earth Day “Gift” from County Board’s Budget Directives

April 22, 2021

EcoAction Arlington thanked the County Board for their Earth Day gift to Arlington. In adopting the FY22 budget, the County Board directed the County Manager to develop recommendations to coordinate a “whole of government” approach to achieving Arlington’s Climate Change and Sustainability goals. EcoAction Arlington is gratified that the Board sent a list of inspiring goals to the County Manager for further development of this initiative in the FY 2023 Budget. The Board also voted to restore proposed cuts to Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Northern Virginia Conservation Trusts, items that promote community participation in the fight against climate change. The County identified funding to hire another urban forester and increase tree maintenance efforts. Please join us in thanking the County Board for this Earth Day gift that will help connect all Arlington residents to a sustainable lifestyle. You may download this sample letter and email to all five County Board members at Countyboard@arlingtonva.us
