Above & Beyond

At SELC, we're driven to go above and beyond in our work to protect the air, the water, and the special places of the Southeast. As we continue tackling some of the most important environmental issues in the nation, we're highlighting what motivates our attorneys to go above and beyond. Learn more about their work and support SELC during this season of giving so we can continue to protect the places we all call home.

“We do work that really matters. We hold ourselves to a high standard, we’re getting results, and I know that Virginia and the South are better places today because of the work that SELC does.”
