Fairfax County is forming a 15-member Environmental Commission to make recommendations on policies that protect and enhance the natural environment, and is seeking residents to serve.
The county said the commission will advise on environmental priorities. Residents passionate about sustainability, stewardship or community planning — or with expertise in forestry or natural resources — are encouraged to consider serving.
"Are you a Fairfax County resident who wants to play an active role in advising the county on environmental priorities?" the county said in its announcement.
Those interested in learning more or expressing interest should contact their District Supervisor by October 9. The county said residents' insight and dedication can help support a sustainable future for Fairfax County.
The Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination (OEEC) leads the county's cross-organizational development and implementation of effective environmental and energy policies, goals, programs and projects. OEEC engages county departments, authorities, businesses and residents to advance environmental and energy priorities and address community needs.
