Each year, the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District hosts an Annual Awards Luncheon to recognize conservation leaders within our jurisdiction that share our common goal for improving and protecting natural resources. This year was different from years past, as we have not been able to host the luncheon since 2019. On November 10th, 2022, District staff and Board of Directors hosted awardees at the North Warren Fire Hall in Front Royal, VA. LFSWCD recognized award winners from 2020 through 2022.
