62nd Annual
GCV Conservation Forum
The Urban Landscape
Planning the 62nd Annual Garden Club of Virginia Conservation Forum began during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic when the reality of an "in-person" event was in doubt. The decision to create an online forum opened a gateway to some of the most comprehensive environmental information from across the Commonwealth and beyond. The Urban Landscape offers original presentations with companion articles and provides resources from noted experts and GCV member clubs. Images throughout the website link directly to video recordings, slide presentations, publications, photographs and websites providing inspiration, knowledge, and practical tools for Making a Difference in Your Community.

It is presented to an organization, industry or an individual who is not a GCV member for outstanding work in conservation.
