What's happening in Virginia...

The Southern Environmental Law Center is using the power of the law to champion Virginia’s environment — from clean energy and healthy air, to our scenic rural countryside, to the protection of special places from the Southern Appalachians to the Chesapeake Bay. SELC has offices in Charlottesville (our headquarters), Richmond and Washington, D.C. We are celebrating 25 years of successful environmental advocacy.
