This week, Loudoun Wildlife headed to Richmond to participate in the biggest Conservation Lobby Day ever! LWC advocacy specialist Trinity Mills and executive director Tom Kercheval joined with members of conservation groups from across Virginia to advocate for environmental action directly with our state lawmakers. More than 160 visits were conducted, the most ever, discussing data centers, wildlife corridors, clean water, and much more. The day was made possible by the Virginia Conservation Network. Want to add your voice to these issues? Check out the video or links in our bio to learn more!

Loudoun Wildlife's "Big Sit" at Algonkian Park this past Saturday featured a special guest courtesy of NOVA Parks: Smoke the Eastern Screech Owl. Matt Felperin , NOVA Parks' Roving Naturalist, was kind enough to share this important message on behalf of Smoke and other wildlife in danger of getting hit by cars when food is thrown onto the highways, attracting the creatures animals like Smoke prey on. Thanks to @potomacoverlook for all the great work they do caring for wildlife like Smoke.
