Purpose of the Committee
The mission of the Conservation Committee is to promote the development, protection and conservation of bird life and other natural resources.
Small Grants Conservation Fund
The VSO Board established the Small Grants Conservation Fund in March 2007.
The VSO Conservation Committee manages the fund. Grants of $500 to $1000 are
made from the fund to aid the conservation of Virginia’s birds.
Applicants are encouraged to make a request in writing to the Conservation Committee Chair, Stephen Eccles. Provide an amount of money being requested, what the money will be used for, a justification as to why it is important to bird conservation in Virginia and what positive impact will be made on the conservation of Virginia birds.
Stephen can be reached by mail at Stephen Eccles, 8904 Narem Place, Annandale, Va. 22003; or stephendeccles_AT_gmail.com.
